Question:
Iron and b12 problems after 5 years

I have been very dizzy, tired, costrophobic, I also have been experiancing fluddering congestion in my chest the doctor says my bloods came back anemic but my presure and sugars seem to be ok for me. I take dyazide for blood pressure induced patasium. Has anyone else experianced this? My primary isn't as concerned as my bastric nurse who says the symptoms sound like iron but heart failure in women also have the same symptoms. I'm only 44 and both my Dad and Grandma died of sudden heart failure. Thank you Anna    — ANNAJEAN (posted on January 9, 2009)

Since you have a family history of heart issues, I'd get a referral to a cardiologist to make sure everything is OK. DAVE

Anna, Sorry to hear that you are not well. I agree with Dave. Regardless of what you PCP tells you, you are more than entitled to a second opinion and w/ a family history such as yours I would be on the phone setting an appointment.

Anna, Get your heart and circulatory system checked as soon as you can. Go to a cardiologist. If you already have iron and B12 problems I would certainly not worry so much about weight loss and have the other things checked ASAP. You'll be in my prayers. Good Luck and God Bless, vinnigirl, retired RN
