Perhaps you were breathing shallow at the time, & could benefit from breathing deeper into your stomach.. Also I don't know if you take copper or zinc supplements, but these compete for the same receptors as iron so if you are getting a high intake of either of those, it could cause you to be low in iron. I'm not sure if goat's rue is high in any of these vitamins but that may be something to look into...

But I think the breathing is a big thing if you're feeling faint, I often start verging on blacking out if I stand up too quickly or get out of a bath too quickly, and what helps me is to start breathing very deeply and to hold on to whatever is nearby!

Breathing exercises in a meditative state are great for the mind. Healthy mind = healthy body.

Hope some of this helps!

Thanks bambi.
Yes that helps as I am a shallow breather. My chiropractor has just taught me tummy breathing as I too shallow breathe.
I didn't know that about iron. Il try my iron too. I'm very slim and always had low ferritin . Thank you
