Posted , 6 users are following.
Please help ladies
Ive been diagnosed aneamic due to heavy perimenopause periods.
Been on ferrous gluconate one a day but still feeling very bad. I also started another period yesterday so im probably going to lose the little iron ive stored. My anxiety is kicking in telling me something drastic is wrong with me.. I cant even go up the stairs without getting breathless. How long does it take for iron to make me feel better. I thought I should be by now. Im getting myself in such a state because my mind is telling me aneamia cant make you feel that bad?
Any ideas ladies x

I started with it, earlier this year, I was on 9, had to take ferrous sulphate 3 times a day until my levels were right, took about three month. Then I had to continue for another three month straight away. I actually slipped up and only took it for two extra month.
Think mines down to peri-menopause too as my periods can be heavy I'm nearly 54yrs.
I cut my tea right back and drank orange juice but I missed my tea.
Hope you feel better soon.

it's as if your blood is not strong enough And not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your brain and your body.
for the anxiety, I would like to recommend herbal Tea and just relaxing a little bit or close your eyes and focus on your breathing while trying to tune out any thoughts.

I know its early but have been having heart racing and anxiety all night and woke uo this morning with what seems to be a panic attack. I checked my pulse and blood pressure but they are all good even though my heart feels like its beating too fast. Is this normal for perimenopause or am I going crazy!!!!! I feel tearful and scared and dont want to go to work this morning. I had a bad bout of these episodes back in November and was put on mirtazapine AD. Iytseemed to take the edge off. Honestly I feel so hopeless today. When will it all end
