A member asked:
Have felt tired and dizzy my iron ferritin level was checked last year level was 16, should i have ferritin rechecked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Assuming you have been taken iron, it would be a good idea to recheck your cell counts and ferritin. In case they are normal at least iron deficient anemia can be ruled out as the cause for your symptoms.
