Lab results - hair loss and palpitations

[Suzi_]

Here are my December 16,21 fasting blood test

Sadly the technician overlooked taking my thyroid labs!

Folate 11.2. Range- greater than 5.4ng

B12 711. Range - 211-911

Ferritin 35. Range- 4.60-204

Hemoglobin A1C 5.3 range 4.6 -5.9

Hemolytic index 5. Range 0-24

Do u think my iron is low, (ferritin seems low)reason for hair loss and palpitations? I have started taking vitron c and magnesium powder calm, as viron c gives me constipation and hard stools. I take them together in the evenings with dinner.

Yes, ferritin is too low and can be a cause of both hair loss and palps.

In light of your symptoms ask your GP to run a full iron panel because you most likely will need to supplement iron.

Have you had Vit D levels tested?

[Suzi_ in reply to radd]

I am going to have my thyroid labs and vitamin D labs done soon.

I have started taking vitron c, palpitations are better.

I wonder why the palpitations start at 1 am and last for couple of hours. Any idea?
