A member asked:
Could a ferritin level of 41 be causing fatigue? what's best way to increase level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemoglobin level: What is your hemoglobin level? If that is low that may contribute to feeling of fatigue. You may take oral supplement with multivitamins. Take iron pills with meals and if constipation happens to be an issue take a fiber laxative like Metamucil. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
