Low ferritin levels can indicate iron deficiency, which is a common cause of symptoms like dizziness, palpitations, and tachycardia. Iron is crucial for producing hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells that helps carry oxygen throughout your body. When iron levels are low, it can lead to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, explaining those symptoms. Since your physician has confirmed that your heart is fine, the focus should be on addressing the iron deficiency. Avoiding foods or behaviors that inhibit iron absorption can be helpful. For instance, try not to consume tea or coffee with meals, as they contain compounds that can interfere with iron absorption. Consuming high-calcium foods alongside iron may also reduce absorption, so it’s better to eat them separately. On the other hand, enhance your body’s ability to absorb iron by including vitamin C-rich foods in the same meal, like citrus fruits, strawberries, or bell peppers. Iron supplements might be necessary, but only take these under medical supervision due to potential side effects and the risk of iron overload. Make sure to monitor your iron levels with regular blood tests as directed by your healthcare provider. It’s great that your physician has ruled out cardiac issues, but you should remain vigilant. If symptoms worsen suddenly or become unbearable, always seek medical care promptly. In terms of daily habits, focus on a balanced diet, addressing any stress or anxiety that might be amplifying these sensations. Practicing mindful techniques, too, can help reduce any anxious thoughts regarding your symptoms.
