A member asked:

Diagnosed with restless leg, prescribed ferrous sulfate 325mg 2 times a day which stopped 4 weeks ago. my latest test results were: hgb 18.8, hct 53.5, iron 92, ferritin 70 after stopping iron. could iron pills cause this elevated hemoglobin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be. However you may have been dehydrated when blood was drawn. It would be prudent to repeat the test after drinking a couple of glasses of water an hour so before getting blood drawn and talk to your doctor.
