Heavy periods chest pain

[MrsK89]

Hey
I've always had heavy periods but seems to be worse since having children.
I'm already anemic and have sciatica issues so leg tingling is pretty normal for me.
Past few cycles I've been getting chest pains and shortness of breath. Gp at the time rechecked my iron levels and said it was low but not blood transfusion low.

I can't take any contraceptive pills now, either due to previous migraines or didn't suit me. I am booked in for the coil but the waiting list is long.
Last night I felt like I had trapped wind by shoulder blades but could feel this at the front aswel.
Has anyone else had this?

it does sound like anaemia to me.
but of course could be something else.
go back to gp.
you need to be tested for haemoglobin, full blood count, vit b12

do you take iron supplements?
what's your diet like?

did the gp listen to your chest at all?

I am anemic
No I've tried all supplements which don't work. I used to eat a lot of red meat until I cut it out due to gallstones 😩
I eat a lot of fruit and vary veg during the week. My appetite has gone lower past few months, I struggle to eat more than twice a day
No didn't check my chest which i guess he should have!
