Reviewing my blood work with my doctor, my iron levels decreased this last year.. they have fluctuated, last year it was 101 after having been in the mid 50s in years past.. This time it was 24. It was also the 2nd day of my period which has been very heavy the last six to eight months.. He wants to recheck the bloodwork since it was done in July. He says i m not showing any other signs of anemia. I did notice my white blood cell counts were a little higher although in normal range and my RDW was just above the normal range. He seems to think it may be heavy periods. Should I be concerned? I do have severe anxiety and depression issues so of course my mind is racing with possible illnesses.
