Anemia and low BP

[Catyln123]

As the title says, I've noticed that my bp has been lower than usual lately (105/53), when it's normally 115/65. In addition to this, I've also had other symptoms such as feeling very tired, breathless at rest and lightheaded.
Bloods have come back showing Hb 10, ferritin 12. Waiting on b12 results.

Gp says my symptoms are due to anemia but my 2 question are:

• Can anemia cause low bp? I've never heard of this and don't know if anyone has experienced this
• How long did it take for the Iron to work? I've been taking them for 6 weeks and there hasn't been much improvement in my symptoms which makes me think this isn't anemia related?!

For information I'm 42, heavy periods and have serious health anxiety!

Bump anyone?

@Catyln123 I did say on your thread last week that you need to stop taking your BP. it's not normal to be so obsessed about it.

Just keep taking the iron. Get an appt to have a mirena fitted.

I see you have just posted this late at night. I suggest you go and do some meditation and get some sleep instead. And add salt to your porridge tomorrow.

@Ilovelowry thank you but I don't think that's a particularly helpful post and I had asked for other people's experiences...
