My Iron Levels Showed Up To Be 810 Ng/ml. What
Question: My Iron levels showed up to be 810 ng/ml. What should I do? What treatment is recommended? Is this the cause that I feel tired and nauseous? I feel sick in my stomach, my mouth fills with saliva, goes back down the stomach and then I vomit.
Currently I’m taking Lansoprazole 30mg, Lexilium 3mg tablets, and Imipramine 25mg. I think it’s too much antidepressants to take in. I’m all the time in sleep. I would like your advice please.

Brief Answer:
Iron studies need to be done. Other symptoms are probably psychological
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your laboratory reports which a normal urine analysis. Complete blood count (CBC) low hemoglobin and high serum ferritin.
Rest of the CBC values are normal.
I suggest you to get iron profile - iron, TIBC and transferrin saturation and peripheral blood smear examination and post the reports for more information and interpretation.
Regarding symptoms of feeling sick and vomiting, I am of the opinion that these symptoms are psychological and not organic.
I suggest you to discuss the symptoms with your psychologist/ psychiatrist.
Feeling sleepy is probably due to sedative effect of anti- depressants.
I suggest you to continue your anti- depressants and not to discontinue without consulting your psychiatrist.
Thanks and take care
