Is Anaemia Related With Muscle Pain, Low Iron & Chest Pain?
I have been having chest, shoulder, arm, and back pain daily for awhile. I went to the doctor for it and she said she thought it was because I have low iron. I started taking iron and most of the pain went away other than some of the chest pain after awhile and stomach pain from the iron itself. I stopped taking it for a few weeks and all the pain went away. I took an iron pill a few weeks ago and now all the areas have hurt since. Does it make sense that it could be anemia? I have read online that it could also be acid reflux but I have only had heartburn two times in my life and my mom is on medicine for it but has never had most of the symptoms I have.

Hello and welcome in HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Yes anaemia is a condition that might cause many complaints and in your case i think this the cause of your symptoms.
Please consult with your doctor about the dose of iron you are taking.
So don't worry and keep taking the treatment.
Thank you
