They may be associated with a lesser-known form of anemia. Be aware!
Yes, unfortunately, a lack of certain vitamins has unpleasant consequences. For example, iron deficiency anaemia can manifest as lethargy, heart palpitations and shortness of breath. There is another, less well-known but unpleasant type of anaemia that can affect the mouth.
We're talking about folate or vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, a problem that can lead to abnormally large red blood cells that can't do their job properly.
It's a type of anemia that causes different symptoms, including mouth ulcers or, in some cases, a ‘sore or red tongue’, according to the National Health Service, quoted in blog aggregator Huffpost. Experts at the Cleaveland Clinic, a non-profit academic medical centre, claim that ‘the sense of taste can also be reduced’.
It can also cause headaches, indigestion, palpitations, lack of appetite, vision problems, diarrhea, as well as problems with memory, comprehension and judgement.
