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!! Silke

Thank you for explaining this. I suffer from asthma. aspergillism and emphysema and am often very breathless, can't even walk to the front door type. However, I am aware that my iron levels are very low and now I will try to rectify that a bit as after all, what have I got to lose. Can you recommend supplements or other ways to increase my iron levels. Thanks.
