I wasn’t stressing over nothing!!!

Please listen to the trigger warnings - mentions of conditions etc

TW// symptoms

So as some probably know for awhile I was experiencing dizziness (not unusual for me) random spells of nauseas, my body suddenly burning up.

What the drs thought it was

When I went to the dr they thought it might of been anxiety and the fact that since I was little I’ve never really been able to regulate my body temperature but because the symptoms were happening even when I was sat on my bed she wanted to run some tests

The tests the ran

I had an ecg because they were worried that it was my heart, they did bp sitting and standing and a blood test

TW!!!! The test results

- my heart came back clear
- My BP came back abnormal
- My oxygen came back really good
- My blood test was up and down
- MCHC = really high
- MCV = low
- Serum ferritin = low
- Serum Folate = low

Outcome

I have an iron deficiency and a folic acid deficiency

Treatment

I have been prescribed medication

TW//

I have temporary infertility and anemic

@Rose113 I’m so glad you finally have some answers. Doctors are terrible for putting everything down to anxiety. Luckily those things are usually fairly easily treated with medication. I had a severe vitamin D deficiency a few years ago, I had to take meds for that for a while.
