Blood test results show high ferritin but low Hg.  

57 year peri menapausal, cough for 20 weeks being treated for asthma. Took a 17 day course of Prednisone which cleared the cough completely then it’s back - could this be connected to blood results. Feel a little nausea from time to time and a little tired some days.

Ferritin 271

Haemoglobin 112

MCV 76.80

MCH 23.6

Is it safe to take iron tablets? What should be the next step.
