Do you have short of breath with low ferritin?

Hi, this is my first time posting. I seem to have all the symptoms of low ferritin. Waiting for my blood work to come back. My question is, does anyone else have shortness of breath and if so what does it feel like for you? Is it just shortness of breath when excreting yourself? I feel like my chest is heavy and tight and I can't get a good deep breath. I know part of it is my anxiety, and when I'm laying down and relaxed I feel I breathe better but standing, sitting, or moving around I feel like I need to take a deep breath, and when I do it just doesn't feel like I can take a great deep breath like I used to. Does anyone else feel like this?

@mahita Yes, you will have shortness of breath and also sudden sensations of weakness and fatigue. You might also see stars when standing suddenly. After lying down for long periods you will feel breathless and lightheaded when standing.
