What Causes High Iron Count In Blood?
I have been diagnosed with high iron count in my blood. I am 66 years old,healthy ,not on any meds . Have had the blood test to see if it is a genetic disposition but it is not. I am tired as though I had anemia which up until the age of 55 when my periods ended I always had a tendency to low iron. Should I be concerned?g

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not to worry. It appears to be anemia of chronic disease.
2. ESR will be increased. Associated chronic diseases usually predispose to this condition.
3. Continue on nutritional diet. Not to worry. Do not avoid iron
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
