Had chest pains for over a month. hemoglobin low but normal. cardiac work up, normal. i started to take iron and my chest pain has gone away. ?

That is Great: I am glad your pain went away. Not sure if the iron did it or it went away on its own. Whatever the reason it is gone and you are comfortable again. You know it was not your heart and anemia does not usually cause pain.
