Iron deficiency anemia does not cause hot flashes in the early morning. Fever is generally associated with infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and malignant conditions. Iron deficiency anemia results from insufficient iron stores in the body to meet the normal production of red blood cells. This may be due to inadequate iron intake, reduced absorption, increased iron requirements, or impaired utilization and excessive loss of iron.
