Which of the following is NOT a symptom associated with iron deficiency anemia?

Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by a lack of adequate iron required for hemoglobin production, leading to reduced oxygen transport in the body. Symptoms commonly associated with this condition include fatigue due to decreased oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues, palpitations as the heart works harder to compensate for reduced oxygen levels, and shortness of breath, particularly during physical exertion, as the body attempts to increase oxygen intake.

Neurologic changes are less commonly recognized as direct symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. While severe or long-standing anemia can lead to complications affecting neurological functions, these manifestations are not typical symptoms experienced by most individuals with this condition. Therefore, neurologic changes would not typically be associated with the primary symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, making it the correct choice in this context.
