Hi,

Thank you for your post on HCM

I do understand your pain and discomfort

As per your history is concerned it is due to iron and B-12 deficit so take vitamin B-12 and iron sucrose injection twice weekly up to one month then once a month every month. Add a multivitamin caps at bed time every day.Continue other medications as usual.

Hope that helps
