Coil Fitted Long Back Need To Be Removed, Diagnosed With Low Foliate And Having Tension Headaches. Are They Related?

I have a coil fitted that needs to be removed after 5 years. I found the card with the removal date on it and it seems I've left it a year late so now in 6 years I am going to the clinic on Tues to see about removing it.

Lately I have been diagnosed with low foliate and have been having really bad tension headaches that last for days. Plus a bit of a belly ache. Also this morning I have woken up with quite a big bruise on my right upper arm. I have worrying sick I have a brain tumor so went to the hospital today and they did lots of physical tests and looked into my eyes and ears. Took blood pressure all was normal. He said everything points to signs of tension headache. I didn't mention the coil as i didn't think of it until I got home. What I was wondering was could it be the coil been in too long eg 6 years instead of 5 causing me the problems.

I am now taking g folic acid and have been for 7 days.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had coil fitted 6 years back, and going to be removed soon. Diagnosed folate defecient, and started using follic acid.
You are diagnosed with the tension head ache. You had a bruice on the right upper arm.
Your symptoms are all vague, due to your tension of the having the coil after 5 years also.
Nothing will happen like this if it is there also,any how you are going to be removed it soon. so don't worry about it.
Have a peace full day by practicing yoga, and meditation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
