Symptoms of iron deficiency symptoms and conditions

IRON DEFICIENCY or ANEMIA

I already told you ladies about iron deficiency in one of my earlier posts. But yesterday my doc finally supposed the same when I told him about my now again upcoming symptoms (tight chest, breathlessness after walking or doing anything, muscle weakness, nausea, tiredness, circulation problems, etc.).

So I'll finally get my iron levels checked on friday (my gyn, whom I had visited a few weeks before, didn't do anything like that at all, he again just told me to "wait and see" if the problems perhaps get better by themselves..... Wow, what a nice suggestion in such a bad situation. Thank you!).

Perhaps one thing for some of you to get checked, too!? I think it might be worth it and could be another chance to find a solution!!

Check the symptoms of iron deficiency over google or whatever, I'm sure you'll find some of yours!!

All the best to you out there!!

Sorry, me again.....

KIM:

You wrote that you were iron deficient before starting Yaz!! PLEASE get checked your iron levels again!! And not only the normal bloodwork but the FERRITIN!! An iron deficiency can bring on your symptoms as well, and even long before it's shown in your normal bloodwork (like hemoglobin, do you say so in English??).

Check the symptoms of iron deficiency over google or whatever!! I'm sure you'll find your symptoms. Perhaps another chance to find some help Kim!! Please try it!!!

Best wishes
