Iron levels

Iron levels

I went to the doctor on Friday, had symptoms of feeling drunk and spells where I feel as though I am going to pass out.  Also have been extremely tired lately.  I was diagnosed several months ago as being anemic.  Doc took blood run CBC while I was there and said I wasnt anemic.  Well, got results from other blood work back this a.m. and my iron level is only 17 (normal range is 35-155) Question is, if my iron is so low, why I am I not anemic.  I thought low iron was the leading cause of anemia.
