Anemic, breathing problem, fluttering heart. On iron pills. Advise?
Patient: Just wondering. I have been diagnosed a few years ago with being anemic. I haven't taken iron pills for a few years now but all of a sudden feel like my breathing gets wierd. Is this a sign my iron may be low? I think about my breathing too much and I think this interferes with breathing normally. I get heart flutters too. Doctor: Blood  hemoglobin  levels  can  give  a clue  of  anemia.  With  prolonged   untreated  anemia  there  can  be  breathing  as  well  as    heart  failure  symptoms  and  so  it  should  be  treated  adequately.If  your  hemoglobin  in  in  normal range  then  consult  doctor  for  other  reasons  for  breathlessness
