On Dec 7, I Had A Low 4.7 HGM Went

On Dec 7, I had a low 4.7 HGM went to ER then hospitalized and given 2 units of blood. Discharged after having had an Endoscopy and now taking 325 mg. of Iron daily. HGM is 7.5 but I have edema in both legs and lost some hearing in rt. ear. Do you believe I may be taking too high a dosage of iron.

Probably the low HGm was because of long term use of Celebrex, Coumadin and Baby Aspsin. All which have stopped. I have A-Fib so still take 2 mg coumadin daily. My B/P is 120/78. Also had left hip surgery following a fall on ice and suffering a severe concussion. Thanks
