A member asked:
I was put on iron pills for anemia and my level is 11.4 ever since then i've been dizzy everytime i stand up or do anything besides laying down, why?

Orthostatic hypotens: Your hemoglobin is depressed but not very much. I presume you are sensitive to anemic changes. This probably comes from menstrual flow. Suggest you see your gyn for an evaluation.
