What could this be? Dizziness, just feeling “off”

Hi all,

I’ve had symptoms of dizziness and generally feeling not right for the past month or so. I can’t put my finger on what is wrong as such other than the dizziness but I certainly don’t feel at full health.

Iron levels have been checked and they are all well within range which is the first time in many many years after having infusions during pregnancy 9 months ago.

Im 36 and having regular periods so unlikely to be peri quite yet I don’t think.

has anyone experienced anything similar and have any suggestions? I don’t want to bother the GP with my rather ambiguous “off” feeling if I can help it, but willing to try anything that may make me feel a little more human!

What was the actual figure? Many women are symptomatic when within normal range, but would feel much better above 100.

Have you had B12 & folate checked? Nice guidelines have changed to say people below 180 are to be considered deficient and, if symptomatic, to be treated if below something like 275. Previously it was deemed ‘normal’ as low as 150!

Thank you - my serum ferritin was 356ng/ml

I’ve attached my full blood count results incase someone can make more sense of them than I!

B12 and vit D were not checked - I had a loading dose of B12 while pregnant too so again around 9 months ago (June 2024)
