It was getting worse & worse and I was getting very worried.

I went for an annual check up with my GYN and told him about very heavy periods, (but not about the heart issues, I figured it was the wrong end of the body for him to have an opinion about.) He took blood and I found out I was very anemic. I started on iron pills and to my surprise, the heart issues have almost completely gone away.

I did some on-line research and found out that along with the usual symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue; heart irregularities, and thinning hair (which was also happening, and has stopped) can happen.

My blood test w as both my regular gp and my gyno. They both put what tests they wanted. I am already feeling calmer. I have been feeling good. But looking into talking with someone and still going to my acupuncturist, Going to see how that goes. But seriously feel better. Still tired though.
