These symptoms can affect your productivity at work, home or school. It can stop you from accomplishing your goals in 2023.

#duet with @seewithnoon #anemic There is iron deficiency with anemia and iron deficiency without anemia. Anemia is when your hemoglobin is low. Iron deficiency anemia physical exam findings can include pale conjunctiva/lining of eyelids, nail beds and skin. #irondeficiency #irondeficiencyanemia #lowhemoglobin
Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are two different diagnoses. Iron deficiency can cause ice craving. Iron deficiency anemia can cause ice craving, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, lightheadedness and palpitations. Anemia is when your hemoglobin is low. It is less than the reference range. Most people do not experience any symptoms due to anemia until their hemoglobin becomes less than 8-9 g/dL. ##blackwomenoftiktok ##hispanicwomen ##pregnantwomen ##irondeficiency ##irondeficiencycheck ##irondeficiencyanemia ##fatigue ##lowenergy ##icecraving
Replying to @thecelestialhoney Intravenous iron works alot faster than oral iron. Most people are deficient by 1000 mg of iron, especially if anemia is present. Iron can be fully restored with just one or a few infusions. Infusions are covered by most insurance plans. In comparison to IV iron, it takes about six months to replenish iron with daily oral supplements. Most iron pills have 30 to 65mg of elemental non- heme iron in which about 10% of that is actually absorbed. In regards to replenishing iron with your diet/food, Fortified cereals have about 4.5 to 17.8 mg of non-heme iron per serving. Once again, only about 10% of iron is actually absorbed. Two ounce beef liver contains 5.8 mg of heme iron but only about 30% of iron is actually absorbed. Increasing dietary iron alone is usually not sufficient for treatment of iron deficiency anemia. #iv#iviron v#ivironinfusions #ir#irondeficient r#irondeficiencyanemia bl#blooddoctor e#hematologist
Grab and take a look at your most recent CBC. If you have any changes as mentioned that your PCP can not explain, inquire about undergoing testing for iron deficiency.

Sitting for an extended period of time can increase your risk for a blood clot in the leg. Make sure you stretch your legs and are up walking every 1-2 hours to help with blood circulation. Stay well hydrated. Compression socks can be worn to prevent blood clots as well. I personally take a baby aspirin on day of traveling for blood clot prevention but please check with your medical provider to see if it’s safe for you to do so.
