Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Is there a connection between low iron levels and joint pain, as well as heart-related issues?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Low iron levels can indeed lead to anemia, which can affect the heart and potentially worsen existing heart conditions. It is crucial to identify the underlying cause of low iron and address it. Consuming iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, dates, and liver (both mutton and chicken) can help improve iron levels.

 

Thanks
