Re: Iron Supplement *new question* downpost
I don't know, but it sounds like you need to see a cardiologist (even if it's just so they can tell you your heart is fine). You could use at least a stress ekg but maybe a stress echo. If exertion doesn't always bring it on, you probably also need a holter monitor for a few days to make sure you get an episode recorded. Which iron test(s) came back fine this time? I'd be highly suspicious if they came back fine once but not another time- like is it a lab error or something?

Re: Iron Supplement *new question* downpost
I don't know anything off the top of my head but I think it's wise to get your heart checked. Blood sugar issues can feel like anxiety attacks, too.

Re: Iron Supplement *new question* downpost
I bet it is my blood sugar. I need to get some strips and take it when I have my next episode.
I was drinking Plexus Slim and their other Triplex products, and I felt so good. I remember just feeling the absence of anxiety and feeling actual energy. I could not afford it anymore, so I quit taking it. It helps to stabilize blood sugar and hormones. It would make sense that I would have blood sugar issues prior to my period starting. The cardiologist is sending paperwork and I can make an appointment when I want to. I don't really want to pay for it, though. We have insurance, but we have not met our deductible, and it seems like a waste of money when I am pretty sure if I could just find the right combination of food, supplements, rest, and exercise, I would feel fine. ETA: I just cleaned out the bunny hutches, with involves a lot of sweeping, raking, lifting, and is just general nastiness. It smells gross, and I always worry I am not doing it right. I felt totally fine. Now, I am inside, sitting while I read this post and type this out, and I am feeling tightness again and like I just want to sigh a lot and can't get enough air.

Re: Iron Supplement *new question* downpost
I'd definitely check your blood sugar if you have a meter.
I agree that Plexus is just not affordable for most people. Which is a shame because I think it's a decent supplement and seems to help a lot of people. I add chia seeds to my homemade protein shakes every morning. I don't feel like I get low blood sugar when I have a high protein breakfast. |
