update..

I always knew when I was becoming anemic when I had ALOT of blood, I was feeling extremely weak, breathless and I also have a mild MPV so that would act up making it feel as if I had a whole cage of butterflies in my chest. I think for you, just to always be on the safe side, that when you start to become weak, dizzy or have a rapid heart beat to have your blood checked regardless of the past history. Better safe then sorry.

My iron got worse over time. I don't think it was a certain point where I was losing too much blood, it was more the loss of blood for so long consistently. I take iron pills now and it seems to help quite a bit. I was going to need a transfusion if the iron pills didn't improve my situation. I never knew that many of my issues were rooted in the iron situation until my doctor called me with the test results. I was always out of breath, dizzy, extremely high heartrate, skinny, pale, cold and had low blood pressure. I would get winded walking across a room. Needless to say, I feel a lot better now. If you notice you're seeing these types of symptoms, you're probably getting anemic again. You should speak with your doctor about iron pills, maybe you can use them to keep your iron up now that you will be improving. I probably wouldn't have gone to the hospital even if my doctor said I had to, I have no insurance.
