Hey,

I have had lots of health problems the past 8 weeks. Had 7 sets of bloods Tuesday (2 tubes). The doctors now have given me a form for another test to check my iron levels. I didnt ask and am now wondering if I have to leave it a certain amount of time between blood tests? Can it affect my iron levels if I go too soon? I have booked a test for tomorrow morning so it will be only 4 days after the last. Will this affect results of iron ? They think I may have high iron which runs in my family called haemochromatosis.

Thanks

It will be absolutely fine, it's such small amounts of blood.
People can have several sets of blood tests the same day and it not effect the results.
So please don't worry. Hope you get to the bottom of this soon.
