Hi guys,
I’m seeking help and advice regarding my health. Recently, I was diagnosed with extremely low ferritin levels, down to 3, although my hemoglobin level was 10.5. I also had a deficiency in vitamin D. For the past three months, before receiving a diagnosis, I experienced severe fear, motion sickness, and vision disturbances, which led to frequent panic attacks. These psychological symptoms were so overwhelming that I didn’t notice other physical issues like weakness, hair loss, brittle nails, exhaustion, and dizziness.
I’ve started taking 100 mg of iron supplements daily and have significantly increased my intake of iron-rich foods. While most of my psychological symptoms have improved, I still struggle with dizziness and the sensation that my surroundings are moving. I occasionally experience anxiety when reflecting on the past two months. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms due to iron deficiency and how long it took for them to recover. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
