Default Iron

My mom found out in April that she had the same problem at her yearly exam. The doctor told her to take iron and change her diet to include more red meat and foods that include iron. She was tested a second time to determine if the problem was a blood loss issue causing the problem and found that was not the problem and will be retested again to make sure things are improving. The biggest concern was that her levels were so low that surgery could not have been done in an emergency of any kind.....therefore the need to get those levels back up. Once on iron and some diet changes, she began noticing she had more energy and felt better.....even though she did not realize there was a problem to begin with.

Good luck......hopefully you can get your iron levels back up and it will be nothing serious.
