Hi all,
I need some advice about iron infusions. So i currently take 3 proferrin forte a day plus a multi with iron in it but I don't think it is cutting it. Yesterday I went to my pcp because I was having heart palpitations, she currently has me wearing a holter monitor and she suspects that anemia is causing an arrhythmia. I just got my labs back on patient gateway and it said my ferritin is 14. Unfortunately the site went down for maintenance before I could write the rest of the labs. But from my memory my hematocrit and hemoglobin were only slightly low. Does it sound like I need an infusion and if so can my pcp order it or do I need to see a hematologist. Thanks for any help
