Anemia

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

Can someone please resend the email with the address

for the information on anemia. I erased mine by

mistake after I read it. Also, with anemia, I am

taking slow release iron (60 mg), and I am still kept

awake from my pounding heart, although I am no longer

bleeding and bruising like I was before the iron

supplements. Is anyone else out there suffering from

lack of sleep due to a pounding heart?

Also, I notice that a lot of people are associating

the bone pain with lupron, I am having intermitent

bone pain throughout the day, and last night I woke up

with my knee in tremendous pain (the back of it was

ice cold, go figure). Is this a hormonal symptom? I

feel like I am deteriorating rapidly and it is very

disconcerting. I had been running five miles a day

with a pulse rate of 44 while resting prior to the

anemia and fibroids. Jeez, that seems like a lifetime

ago.

Thanx, any feedback on this would be appreciated.

Hello ,

When I read your message that mentioned a pounding heart, it immediately

caught my attention. I have had the same problem, and since I am also

anemic from the bleeding, I wondered if the pounding heart is one of the

symptoms of anemia. That would sure make me feel better to know it's from

lack of iron, and not so much a problem with my heart! If you or anyone

else has any info on this topic, I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks!

I am interested to about a pounding heart----My heart rate is always

high--but it doesn't prevent me from sleping---I am borderline anemic and i

take 2 slow Fe's a day. Deanna

A pounding heart is definitely a sign of anemia. I had a pounding

heart and breathlessness upon even the slightest exertion for a

while. I kept avoiding the issue. My gyn sent me for a blood count

after I told him that I was bleeding a lot and the result showed that

I was severely anemic. The heart is working overtime trying to get

oxygen throughout the system and that is why you feel it pounding.

I strongly recommend that anyone who has a pounding heart and/or

breathlessness get tested for anemia before you faint and possible

end up needing a transfusion. My gyn told me that I was a hair away

from needing a transfusion.

I was never seriously anemic, but I woke up with heart palpitations for

years. I thought it was just a symptom of peri-menopause. I have had very

few since I had my UAE last October. I never associated any of this with

iron. gr

Hi , , and other fellow anemics who've recently joined.

A pounding, racing heart is a symptom of anemia. Your blood can't

carry enough oxygen to meet demand, so your heart works extra hard to

circulate quickly what little oxygen your blood can carry.

Go to Post #20076 for the websites you asked for. Also try

searching the archives -- type in anemia, iron, controlling bleeding,

and the like. There have been a bunch of posts on anemia. Some have

great advice for how to get iron back in your body - kelp, Floradix,

and other supplements besides prescription pills. If you're truly

anemic from a deficiency of iron, don't worry about taking too much

iron just yet. It'll be several weeks at the very least before your

iron stores start returning to normal, if you're not bleeding. Be

careful when you take your pills/supplements. The tannin in black

tea and calcium decrease absorption of iron. Make sure you're

getting more fiber too, as extra iron will likely constipate you.

, I understand how you feel. I used to run and had a low

resting heart rate too. I was pretty scared when the gusher periods

suddenly started in November, my heart raced even while resting, all

the other anemia symptoms showed up -- but I had no idea yet what

anemia was or that I had a fibroid. Thank heavens for this group!

I've been taking a 324 mg prescription Ferrous Sulfate pill 3xs a

day since Feb when I my first blood test confirmed anemia. The first

month showed big improvement; the second month not, so I tried

Floradix. I felt better in a few days; I think the iron in Floradix

is more absorbable. However, not until a few weeks ago I felt like

I finally broke through the anemia barrier -- I could sustain jogging

for a whole 15 minutes! I'm also on BCPs continuously so I've been

blissfully period-free since Feb.

I'm sorry I can't say why your knee hurts. Maybe we injure more

easily and take longer to heal with anemia?

Take care,

Ellen
