Have symptoms, no dx.
I hope this works, I'm a new member. I have not been dx'ed yet, but what started out as an iron deficiency turned out really weird and I was wondering if any of you had a similar problem. My iron was 28 and iron saturation was 6%. The PA put me on iron pills 325mg. twice a day. I didn't take them due to the awful stomach aches they cause. I took a prenatal vitamin everyday with 28mg. of iron in it. A month later my iron was up to 191 but I still felt awful and it has only gotten worse. Palpitations, when I workout and do cardio especially I have a hard time breathing, and it feels at times like I will pass out, fatigue, tiredness, headaches, and most of the time the slightest exrtion wears me out. The hematologist looked at my blood values and said it would be a waste of time to see her, there is nothing wrong. Now I can't get in to see anyone. Did any of you have those symptoms? Also my counts were screwy in the beginning, but the last count I had doesn't show anemia, even though I feel like I always did only worse. Can blood values show normal?
