Both are equally bad. The symptoms of folic acid deficiency are lethargy, breathelessness, fatigue and headaches. Get a test done to know if you have anemia.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a IgF- Bp3 ( Insulin Growth Factor - Binding Protein 3) Test or Take a Apollo Weight Management Prime Checkup Test
