Hi, I had annual checkup blood work and my iron is low and ferritin is high. I have low iron values last year too and doctor asked me to the iron supplements 3 times a day. I was taking it. But no changes. One thing to mention, I have been dealing with jaw pain under ear and neck pain for 8 months now. No proper diagnosis yet. Been to many doctors, dentists etc. I have been taking many medicines for that in the last 8 months. Does it make any change in the blood work? What does low iron and high ferritin indicates? I am worried about this. Is this normal or should I ask for more blood test/treatment? Iron. Dec 2019 - 54. Dec 2020 - 48. Normal 27-159ug/dl . Iron saturation dec 2019 -14. Dec 2020 -12. normal 15-55% . Ferritin dec 2019 -154. Dec  2020- 193. Normal 15-150ng/ml. I was taking antibiotics for a week before this blood test. Does it make any difference. one more value is high this time. Liver enzyme ALT. It was dec 2019- 21iu/uL. Now 55.normal 0-32.AST normal.
