Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
While trying to build my strength after a brown recluse bite, I have started many supplements, one being iron. I ve been taking 3-4 weeks and have noticed feet & leg swelling over the last 10-14 days. Could the iron be the cause? ( I have also started a Calcium, Zinc, Mag supplement and upend my fish oil & Vit D.)
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the swelling of lower limb then systemic cause of this need to be ruled out first, renal function test cardio pulmonary function, some allergic disorders, but it may not be due to iron supplement, better to stop all this supplement till you reach the underlying cause of the swelling hope this information helps, take care and have nice day.
