Have Low Iron Saturation. History Of Typhoid, Whooping Cough. Chest X-ray Abnormal. Heart Problem?
I too have low iron saturation (13.3). My Hemoglobin is 10.9 and Hematocrit 34.3. I have been having this problem off and on for the past three years. In Sep 10, I had Typhoid and everything dropped but came back up. In Nov 12 - Jan 13, I had Whopping Cough and everything dropped again. Getting ready to have a scope done to see if I am losing blood somewhere (had a Gastric By-Pass in Mar 05) and then dr talking about IV Iron. Question. Today I found out my Chest X-Ray from Tuesday was abnormal, and until I speak with my PCM, I don't have a clue. Just wondering if it could be my heart (I had a stent since Sep 01) or something else.
