Hi I'm concerned about my DF who had heart surgery 14 weeks ago. Before surgery his Hb was 130
Since surgery it's crept from 90 to 104 & he feels so drained and lethargic, is breathless with aches and pains.GP says he needs hb to be at least 120 to feel better...He had a transfusion immediately after surgery.
he's eating lots of iron rich foods and taking supplements but it's taking along time to rise to normal levels.
His ferritin is 149 & B12 150
Anyone got and ideas/experience why it's taking so long to get back to normal?
Poor thing is getting fed up now.
