This Vitamin Deficiency Can Cause Fatigue, Headaches And Brain Fog — And Drinking Raises Your Risk

A HuffPost health piece explains that folate deficiency, while described as rare, can cause anemia that leads to fatigue, headaches and cognitive problems. A neurologist quoted in the piece says fatigue is the most common symptom, arising because low folate impairs red blood cells' ability to carry oxygen.

The article notes headaches from folate deficiency are usually secondary, caused by the resulting anemia rather than the vitamin shortage directly, and that folate deficiency often coexists with low vitamin B12, which is separately linked to memory decline.
