I've been anemic for a year now and I've been taking iron deficiency pills but I stopped for a few months now and this morning I went to the doctor and he advised me to stop exercising and playing any intense sport for a few months until my iron deficiency level is back to normal because intense exercise can be dangerous/deadly while anemic and that your heart isn't properly pumping blood and oxygen to your heart which can cause a heart attack or a stroke. I'm still in my teen years so I'm not sure if I should be really concerned.
I have football season starting mid April and I've never had any problems similar to this, even while playing football or any other sport, would it be okay if I still continue to play if I haven't had any problems while playing before?
