Can low iron make you feel weak or like you might pass out?

I'm extremely anemic but I'm also the worst at remembering to take my iron pills. I am supposed to take my pills 3 times a day, but I'm lucky if I remember to take it once lol

Thanks I wasn't anemic already but my dr said my iron was low at my last appt and put me on the pills and I forgot today. I wasn't sure if that was what was causing me to feel this way.
