← Return to Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

I had my first vaccination in March 2021 and in less than one week I tested positive for Covid. While I was ill, my blood pressure dropped dramatically (bordering on dangerously low) and I could not stand up without feeling as if I would pass out. It wasn't until approximately two months later that I had my iron checked and discovered that I was suffering from low iron and low ferritin. I had just assumed that the severe drop in my BP and ongoing shortness of breath were the result of Covid but now I wonder whether all of this was actually caused by the iron depletion as a side effect of the vaccination instead. The many accounts from people who do not indicate that they had Covid seem to point to the vaccination. As mentioned, I had one shot (Moderna) followed by Covid and an infusion of monoclonal antibodies (Regeneron). I did not get my second vaccination and will not get a booster. I believe, and evidence seems to indicate, that natural antibodies are at the very least, as good as the vaccine, are longer-lasting and more effective. And all these months later I am still waiting for my iron/ferritin levels to be where they belong.

I'm sorry to hear that you were infected with Covid before the vaccine had time to take effect.
Remember that a well documented after effect of a Covid infection, even before the vaccine was available, is anemia.
As for boosters and immunity from prior infection, please continue to watch the research - more is being learned as time goes by.

Shortness of breath is a definite symptom of low iron. Did you ver confirm for sure that you had covid. I know that some people have tested positive, but subsequently tested negative. I know there are sometimes false positives. Have you had a blood test to see if you have the antibodies? It is all very baffling and it does not help that the govt is not being completely honest. Maybe 10 tears from now we will finally get the truth.
