I’m 74 years old and suffered with chronic headaches and migraines since I was a teenager. Took a spring religiously. A few years ago I started suffering shortness of breath and couldn’t walk more than a couple of feet without having to stop and catch my breath. When I would go grocery shopping I would find someplace to sit, even an empty shelf. I would tip a store clerk to walk me out to my car and put my groceries in my vehicle. I also developed a craving for ice. Chewed it every chanc3 I got. I assumed I was having heart problems.
When I went to my physician he took a blood sample. He called me the next morning and told me to get to the emergency room right away for a blood transfusion because my blood oxygen level was dangerously low. I went and they ran every kind of test they could to see if I was bleeding inwardly. Thankfully I wasn’t. I got my transfusion and my Dr. Put me on iron. When he found out about my aspirin usage he said to stop taking them immediately and switch to Tylenol. I followed his advice and have not had a problem since. And I no longer get headaches.
A spring should read aspirin.
Same thing happened to me before my AML diagnosis.
Now watch out for your liver.
Sorry you had all this trouble.
Aspirin reduces stored iron.
If a person’s blood ferritin is less than 70 ng/ml, the person has an iron deficiency. Chocolate and meat have iron.
