Iron… very low normal range. Iron saturation below normal at 17%. Fatigued after exerting the slightest. Heart pumps fast to get oxygen to body.
This condition had been on going for 9 months, Under VS Dr. Care. Doctor is stumped …I’m requesting hematologist and possibly cardiac screening….although EKG, Ultra Sound and Stress Test are good.
I am 77 year old male. Comments??

Have tried correction with oral iron supplements….

I did some more research about the Covid 19 Bivalent mRNA booster. In 4-6 months your cells learn to replicate itself. Make antibodies to fight it off.You can get blood test to see if you have antibodies against Covid. It might take a little longer for you hang in there!

Check your Ferritin levels and CBC w/differential, too if you haven't... Iron isn't the whole picture. Iron transports oxygen but need the whole story on your blood. Technically I'm not anemic but my Ferritin went to 5 (should be above 80). Heart palp and stress test, ultra, and week long EKG all came back "normal" even with multiple flutters throughout the day sometimes lasting over a minute. No issue in colon/endo. IV Iron helped dramatically but haven't found anything else to "hold" my Ferritin levels up afterwards. Now going to try Feroglobin per Hematologist but sort of doubtful at this point that my system is able to convert Iron properly. Either way, hope you feel better and find answers!

My iron binding is only4% so the liquid iron is not working. My physicians asst. wants to see me about iron infusions that I suggested after talking to a Hematologist. I was really fatigued too, then I got a unit of blood I felt better immediately. Another problem I have after getting the booster vaccine is my hair texture has changed, dry,cotton-like,thinning. A Herbologist told me to use coconut oil as a hair treatment. Tachycardia will subside after blood transfusion. At least it worked for me, I can do things again, laborious work outside, walk a few miles.

TRY A FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DR.
