How Can Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath While Suffering From Low RBC Count Be Treated?

I have low red blood cell count and doc wants me to take Ferrous Sulf325mg tab car 3 times a day. I found it gave me too much constipation problems. So I take 1 or 2 a day. I am facing a lot of fatigue, and low energy, and shortness of breath lately at age (gulp) 68. Also I sleep A LOT. I need more energy and umph back in my life to get things done. Help if you can. I appreciate any advice. Dalene Matschke
