Is A Painful Spot Near The Ribs Suggestive Of Iron Deficiency?
I have a blue spot that has been on my left rib for about 4 months now. It recently has gotten a lot worse, to the point where it is waking me up during the night because I am laying on it. I have recently felt very out of breath. My mom is Iron Deficient. Could this all be caused by me being Iron Deficient as well?

Hello,
I don't think this is related to iron deficiency.
You should get examined physically by a doctor to check the origin of the blue spot you are having.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
