Re: What should I do? - Jane

[Guest guest]

I just read your original email. With the length on the periods

you've been having, have you been tested for anemia ? I don't know

that it's connected with palpitations, but certainly with fatigue

and just generally not feeling better. I have heard of women who

have periods too often who went anemic.

Hi Jane,

Thank you for your response. I've had bloodwork done

so I'm assuming they looked for that...maybe I

shouldn't assume? I am taking a good multivitamin

every day that has iron in it...I'll ask my doc to

make sure though.

Thanks!
