I have shortness of breath when I bend over or walk more than a block. I am undergoing heart tests including stress and angiogram. Next week, I have an appointment with my lung specialist. I am okay when I lie down, no fluid buildup, no cough, blood oxygen 93%. No diagnosis yet. Can you suggest anything more I should do? My BP is good, ECHO is good, and cardiogram is good. I have always had stress and take Xanax and Zolft. I have seen a doctor about stress. I have the Cooley's blood trait diagnosed 70 years ago. The shortness of breath and some fatigue come when I bend over.

I have received my blood work results and my iron level was 3.7 and my hb was 10.1. I am very tired all the time and was recently diagnosed with IBD. In 2005, I had a C-section and lost a lot of blood, requiring two transfusions. Are my current iron levels life-threatening, and are iron injections a possibility since my saturation levels are not good?

My mother, aged 71, had her forefoot amputated 3 weeks ago. She visits the clinic twice a week for wound treatment and bandage changes, which is painful. Some friends suggest daily treatment. Is twice-weekly treatment correct, and how long will this procedure typically last (she is not diabetic)?
