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 Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes anemia is a condition that might cause many complaints and in your case I think this is 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 Chat Doctor.
