    Thank you for talking about this👏 I have an iron deficiency I have anemia. As I got older I started being more serious about taking vitamins more. I get horrible headaches from stress it's not fun also I cut back on sugar it seems to be a bit better. I get headaches from not eating enough. You are right these are all not excuses at all it's health and I wish people would take it serious and not say "oh you are making excuses" or it"s all in your head because it is not, it is serious and it explains a lot.

    Thanks for making this video. I’m dealing with anemia really bad right now. I didn’t take it seriously and I’ve been eating a bad diet and I was taking ibuprofen, which I read online is not a good idea. You can actually cause anemia if you take it too often. I’m trying to recover and take care of myself now, I really appreciate your video.

      @llkg9 2 роки тому +9

      Good for you! It's scary how many doctors don't truly understand iron deficiency.
      I had MANY doctors tell me I couldn't possibly be iron deficient because my Hgb was ok (that's false, per medical literature).
      By the time someone finally did iron studies for me, I'd spent YEARS sometimes unable up drive, stand, walk up a few steps, etc.
      I've now had 2 courses of 6 iron Infusions, and we're trying to address the reasons for the deficiency. And, after 9 years (8 misdiagnosed and not diagnosed), I'm finally starting to get my life back.

    I'm having chest pains and nerve pain since 2 months. I was absolutely fine and when one day started having chest pain... It scares me a lot... I have done my ECG echocardiogram endoscopy and what not... Doctor said my heart was fine.... All the doctors are saying that I have in society and anxiety is causing me e these weird pains all over my body and specially my chest pain.. somewhat I was not ready to believe them... I I'm having extremely dry lips... It's sometimes even bleed when the skin comes off, kind of dry skin. And people tell me that I looked very unwell... I got my vitamin test done.... And my vitamin d level is 12.... Dr never asked me for a bit test but can my chest pain and other pain all around my body and specially my wrist and my feet can be a sign of vitamin d deficiency... Can vitamin d deficiency at a level of 12 be so severe
    Also I have had breathing issues now a days... Strange tightness in the body. ... Lump in the throat feeling... And upset stomach... And I'm also having lump in the throat feeling.. can dis be due to vit d or calcium deficiency or iron or potassium bdeficiency? I have done my B12 test also which are normal.... Last month I had my ovarian cyst surgery for which my CBC was done but it was also normal... For now I have sent my samples for iron testing

    Howsoever, interesting video :). Suffer from the same. I'm happy you didn't experience heart problems. I was like 30 times in ER, they suspected heart attacks, tumors and alot of other stuff. And I couldn't gain muscles anymore, even though I worked out 4-6 times per week, my performance went down to when I started lifting weights. One day I got unconscious in the gym, because my blood couldn't support my body with enough oxygen anymore. That was a weird experience, for which I broke my arm, cause I got unconscious in a super bad position while working out with weights. That was a few days ago.
    I hope this will be better soon. I'm a total mess these days.
