Vertigo and Hairloss / alopecia areata

[AnnaDall]

I have been suffering from Vertigo for over 3 years now. I have also suffered from alopecia areata. Recently it has been getting worse to the point where I am finding it extremely hard to get out of bed, no energy, dizzy, light headed and my blood results showed that I have increased level of iron and need to repeat test in 3 weeks. Can anyone please help? I also have 2 children that need to constant help and everyday is a battle.

Hi AnnaDall, welcome to the forum.

Do you have a thyroid condition? Are you on medication for it? Have you had any nutrients tested, like vit B12? I think we're going to need a bit more detail to be able to help you.

I have had a blood test for liver function and thyroid, apparently they were fine. My iron was higher than usual! I will collect the results on Monday. I couldn’t find the topic that suits me so I picked one hoping someone can help.

Well, post your results here, with the ranges, when you get them and let's have a look. We might spot something.

'Fine' is an opinion, not a diagnosis. And doctors' opinions have been known to be wrong.

At the very least, we might come up with suggestions for further testing to be done.

I take it you're not on any medication for anything?

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. No apart from cerezette - contraceptive pill. Have been on it for years
