just Found out my folate is low I’m on folic acid for 3 months I’m feeling so poorly I’m exhausted weak and lightheaded the dizzy spells are what’s bothering me the most tbh iv been taking the tablets for 2 weeks now and feel even worse :( is this normal? Is it normal to feel lightheaded with low folate? My ferritin is low aswell but due to me taking the iron for 3 months I’m now longer anemic although it’s still low

No idea on the folate but you can still feel horrendous with low ferritin that's in the "normal" range....you can be symptomatic and feel rubbish! I'd go to GP and speak to them? Listened to really interesting talk from the mummy MoT about low ferritin and the doc speaking was great.

Yes I think it’s a mixture of both tbh I feel so rubbish:/
