I am a very long time lurker.
Went to drs on Monday as having headaches, racing heart rate, very pale & general feeling like crap. Had bloods taken, phone call later same day iron levels were only 7.2, have been taking ferrous fumarate since Monday evening and the headaches have gone but no improvement on heart rate or being so pale.
Can anyone help on how long before I start to look a bit better/heart rate to return to normal. Drs not quite sure what has caused it as I don't think my periods are that heavy, but this came on after a heavier than usual period.
I think that I may have had lower iron levels for a while and the heavy period just tipped me over, is this likely?
