Iron Deficiency Anemia: At what ferritin level do you get infusions?

I did not know how to post about asking a question, I am just wondering why no drs treated or even told me of my anemia, I have been anemic that I know of since my first blood test in 01/10/22, I have had 4 more blood tests since then each time anemic, it's now been 11 months and now I'm getting dizzy and nauseous, and just finally had a PA send off some blood work and came back low iron and anemia. She has now put me on Iron pills, but I am wondering why the drs don't treat anemia? I'm also wondering why I am anemic; I eat very healthy. I just wish someone would try and find out. Is anemia something that is often ignored?

Hi. I also test borderline low for low iron-anemic. It took awhile for Drs to suggest iron pills. I take over the counter. I’m going to ask my Dr in February about finding out why I have low iron. I also test low on red blood cell count and hemoglobin. I live in a small town where anything out of the ordinary, most Drs don’t deal with it.
