No the ovaries were not removed and I had seen a gynecologist he did all the tests needed everything was normal except I was short on Vitamin D and my internist found that I have a relatively low level of vitamin b12 and some what iron low , to the higher end of low levels supposed , my blood pressure is perfect usually 110/60
Brief Answer:
Supplementation required
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Low levels of vitamin D and vitamin B 12 leads to the symptoms you are having.
You should then take vitamin D supplements and vitamin B12 injection or tablets to make up for the deficiencies. This will relieve the symptoms.
Supplementation of these medications do not have any adverse effect on the heart.
