New symptoms with daily iron

[Guest guest]

Hi Val, Nick, Margery,

I have been on iron for two years now and my last labs showed my ferritin had

climbed to 254. I had started out of 4 caps per day, brought it down to three

caps per day and these labs values reflect my levels while taking 2-27mg

Bluebonnet Iron capsules daily. I have again cut my dose back to only one 27mg

capsule daily, for about two weeks now. What I have been noticing lately is

about thirty minutes after I do take my iron my heart rate goes up and I get

sort of jittery. I didn't think I should entirely come off my iron since I had

a problem with low ferritin in the past but is this symptoms quite possibly from

too much iron? And if so, what should I do? I don't want to stop taking the

iron if it is going to deplete, but I don't like this feeling either. Any

suggestions as to what I should do is appreciated. If I come off of the iron

completely how will I know that it is not just slowly depleting to the point

that I will eventually develop problems taking my T3?

Thanks as always!

Cindy
