Low iron with normal haemoglobin count
I've heart palpitations followed with shortness of breath, fast heart rate which has affected my sleep. I’ve lost some muscle mass and weight and wanted to know if the report indicate anything serious. My GP said they are caused due to anxiety related panic attacks and suggested me to consult a psychiatrist and gave me zapiz 0.5 for 10 days which I’ve not yet consumed as I read that sleep meds are habit forming. Any suggestions or advise will be really helpful

Iron deficiency without anaemia is common. It is easily treatable, it is due to deficiency. I need little bit more details regarding palpitations and breathlessness like what triggers and other symptoms like hair fall if it is present. Please Consult.

After thoroughly reviewing the history you provided, it appears that your symptoms may be related to anxiety and panic disorder. However, your iron deficiency may also be a contributing factor, or the two conditions may be unrelated. In order to make a definitive diagnosis, a complete medical history is necessary. It would be beneficial for you to schedule an appointment with me to discuss this further.
