As In title. My iron was fairly low 6 weeks ago. Given tablets made me violently sick.
Went back to gp they gave me liquid iron. Pretty much does the same and have been experimental with dosage as advised.
Midwife was 3 weeks ago and she did more bloods. Went to gp. For results and she's only done a basic he said so would need repeating at next midwife.. Which is this week.
I've been eating as much iron rich foods as I can possibly eat. And doing my best with the liquid iron
However I'm still struggling with tiredness
Then come 3pm I'm struggling to breathe properly.. Which I'm told is a. Side effect of Low iron? I literally feel like I have someone sitting on my Chest. Even to cuddle up to dp the lack or air around me feels like I'm suffocating?
Any suggestions on what I can eat aswell or do. Or avoid?
