Hi, I Had A Blood Test Done By A New

Hi,
I had a blood test done by a new psychiatrist I recently saw as I was having chest pains and my dr said it was panic attacks I thought it was my asthma. The psychiatrist had me do blood work to rule out anything else and my hemoglobin came back 118 and my ferritin 8. I have heavy periods. Regular but heavy and my knee joints hurt. I'm 45. My dr told me I was just Sensative the last time I saw her. She knows I have heavy periods and I said my symptoms to her. Fatigue weight gain. Irritable. The psychiatrist forwarded my lab results to her a week ago and I waited a week. In the meantime I started taking 28mg of iron in the morning. I called her a week later and can get in in 2 weeks. Should I be seeing her sooner? I'm worried she is not listening to me and won't provide me with the proper care. I'm female
