Hi doctor,I have low energy for a few days now. I have done a blood test, and I have a ferritin level of 10 ng/mL. After taking supplements, my ferritin got increased to 16 ng/mL. But, still, I suffer from weakness. My doctor advised me to have an iron infusion to raise my levels. I still have low energy, and it is affecting my daily life. Can I take an infusion now? Can it help me? Please suggest.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It also depends on the level of hemoglobin. There are no additional benefits seen while having an infusion. It gives a rapid rise in hemoglobin. If you have responded to oral treatment, then it is not necessary. Please send your blood reports soon. If everything is fine, then do a thyroid test.
