Just found out my ferritin is 4 and has been since my anxiety started and my doctor never connected the two.. thank god for the internet and people like you who talk about it! Great video! Thank you for this!
Hii am girl ..My ferttin is always vry low like .Sometime 10 ..But I put iv Iron ijection n agar after some month it's went below lie low ..Am i hv long term anxiety n hypothyroidism ...N my facial muscles is too weak even sensitive to touch ..Can u tell me why this happen
How are you doing now? I had one Dr notice after 6 years of crazy seasons of repetitive panic attacks around my cycles. I have stage 4 endometriosis so I've always had heavy bleeding. It now makes so much sense. Dr's have only ever checked cbc. Never ferritin.
Thank you for this video. My ferritin is so low that I’m having iron infusions starting on Friday. I feel a very familiar anxiety creeping up. I’m so relieved to be getting treated. This video makes me feel so much better. Solidarity. Thank you.😊
i went to a psychiatrist and the drugs made me feel absolutely terrible so i realized it's not anxiety. after coming home from the gym, i had a sudden feeling of paranoia, my breathing felt very slow and "numb" and i felt depressed. i'm getting a blood test soon!
Hey there , same here , low iron causes anemia but low iron does not always require to take iron. There is a bacteria called candida and feeds off your iron. Doctors not always detect it. Take medicine for that bacteria
Thank you so much for this!!! My ferritin level is a 19 and my iron was a 21....I feel like I have waking anxiety...I even take melatonin at night hoping I can get some rest, but I always ending waking up trying to catch my breath. I dont feel like myself most days. I thought I was losing my mind. I take blood builders by Megafoods now...This journey sucks, but I'm trying to stay positive and push through. I have a 4 year old I want to be around for so I gotta do this.
@Kay Washington, I’m the one that added you on ig. I saw your comment on a different video & also this one. I’m having the excessive deep breaths all day as well, I feel the same as you. How is it now for you?
I went yesterday to urgent care bc my heart felt like it would go to rapid speeds and then stop and start it again. I was so tired one day and went to work an hour late. I had a bad anxiety attack with my therapist the day before. I had started my period that Sunday too and was in bad pain all day. A few of my blood levels were off and said that they could make anxiety worse. I got medicine for it today hoping that it'll kick in. I'm so glad I found this video.
I'm post menopausal, but have had these symptoms for over 49 yrs, after my son was born. No one ever addressed ferritin. I just found out that it's low. I cannot believe it! It would have probably been an easy fix. I have missed out on so much.
@@sl4983 it definitely depends on the provider. If you tell them you're willing to pay for the test out of pocket they will probably be more likely. I generally order tests I want on my own and go to my local Labcorp or a similar place when I think my provider will push back or it isn't a test that is typically ordered.
I took excessive zinc supplements which lowered my iron and copper. I was lucky to catch it before anemia. Ferritin went low first and I found it by accident on a blood test that I paid for. Anxiety, fatigue, hard to sleep through the night, etc.
My Ferritin is 280 ug/L but my MCV is very low (70fL) which equates to Iron deficiency anemia. I get chest pains, shallow breathing, anxiety, panic attacks, brain fog etc. I really hope I can fix it with getting a better iron rich diet.
I got my Pfizer shot...last year. Within 2 weeks I some how developed low iron??? I was so pale and dizzy and tingling feet and hands. Dr did tests I had to take 300mg iron for 3 mnths :( I don't get it. I was o,k for 8mnths .and now again... low iron 🤦♀️and they found 2 fibroids in uterus. It never ends. Now my anxiety is back and with low iron it's worse. I will never again get shots of any kind. None. It's sad what our drs have done to people.....also they don't tell u u must take iron with vitC and B12 for better absorption. My naturopathic dr told me. They really need to train our so called "drs" better.
I had fibroids and I asked the nurse why did I get these? She said because I'm (Fat), (Forty), and (Fertile). Well, I wish I knew then what I know now.. My 5 fibroids were a state of estrogen dominance. Have your hormones checked. Usually estrogen dominance is a lack of progesterone. Hope you are better as it has been a year since you posted.
My ferritin level is 11 but my doctors say a normal range for women is between 10-120 .. I’m so confused… I have every single one of the symptoms you mentioned and my doctors have been diagnosing me with panic attacks…
Wow that is low. I had these symptoms at 25 ng/ml. After 5 months of 20mg Heme iron daily with 2mg copper to get it into storage through cerruloplasm, it was 61 ng/ml this past week. Feel better but still have alot of these symptoms. I think I will need to get it to 100 ng/ml to feel optimal.
My certain is long term is vry low like 10 n am a girl n havi g hypothyroidism .Do u hv facial muscles n facial nerves pain .Plz do reply .Let's me check that the am facing it or what .My all hair falls out ..Do u hv eyebrows fall out in ur low ferttin coz of or what ?
Thanks for your great videos! What about tingling of extremities and numbness that resolves on movement (ie limbs ‘falling asleep’ at night) , twitches etc can that be low iron too? I’m guessing maybe yes because of lack of oxygen getting to the nerves??
I think this could be possible- you'll only know if you work on boosting your iron intake to see if it will help. Could also be due to other electrolyte imbalances- salt, magnesium etc
Hello- I"m sorry I can't totally answer that question, but lots of people prefer liquid iron. I've also seen some studies showing that taking iron (usually 3-4 pills spaced out in a day) but every 2-3 days is better tolerated.

We're so happy you're getting answers!

FOR REAL.
I’m a man and had low iron. I had every symptom you named and was freaking out. The not being able to breathe was the worst.
it's crazy, isn't it??
pro tip: watch movies at Kaldrostream. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Lane Genesis yup, I have been watching on kaldroStream for months myself :D
I'm a man and had all of the same symptoms. 3 years of hell. Was from to frequent blood donations. Taking blood builder getting better every month

I'd love to know if iron infusions are helpful! I can't get my ferritin above 15, no matter how hard I try.
Currently going through this. It’s awful😭 I just started my iron supplements today. Praying for some relief I just want to be myself again.
add some lemon juice when you take your iron so it's easier on your stomach! Hoping you feel better soon.
How are you now? Was it the anxiety causing low iron?
i went to a psychiatrist and the drugs made me feel absolutely terrible so i realized it's not anxiety. after coming home from the gym, i had a sudden feeling of paranoia, my breathing felt very slow and "numb" and i felt depressed. i'm getting a blood test soon!
I hope it helps!

Huge thanks for this upload! Panic attacks are devastating but we can learn to crush them! Keep it up!
Great video.

How did the megafoods blood builder work for you?
I have this. Morning anxiety when u wake up

I hope this helps you find more answers!
Did you have to push your doctor to order the test for you?

Exactly all my symptoms…thank you for sharing this video very helpful!

how are you now I have panic attack too is the iron really helps
I had the same symptoms! I thought I was having anxiety but my blood results showed low ferritin.
I think it's more common that we think!

We're sorry you're going through all this! Fibroids can cause heavy periods and heavy periods are a big contributor to anemia.
Well at least you learned! Hope you're doing better

Thats super low!!! My ferritin is 45 and i have horrible symptoms
My sources mention you'll feel better with a ferritin closer to 50! But I've felt better when it's 20 and above
Heavy menstrual flow is a main contributor to this so try to get that in check, if you can!
Wow that is low. I had these symptoms at 25 ng/ml. After 5 months of 20mg Heme iron daily with 2mg copper to get it into storage through cerruloplasm, it was 61 ng/ml this past week. Feel better but still have alot of these symptoms. I think I will need to get it to 100 ng/ml to feel optimal.
Very helpful thankyou, I just came back from dr. Today and he told me I was anemic..my levels were 2
Oh my goodness! Hope you're feeling better!
How are your iron levels
Jeez what did they do for you??
I've had panic attacks year ago and I'm on antidepressants and I chech my iron was 10 it can be of this really
I have all of these symptoms!!!!😭😭😭 my ferritin is 11 and struggling to get it up.
I hope you're finding relief. If you have heavy periods, you might investigate ways to decrease your monthly flow
