Hi
I am 37 years old with Beta Thal minor
Recently i observed my Resting heart rate is going down, at the moment its 50 in my fit bit HR . Sitting in an office chair or watching TV it goes as low as 53-54 . My ECG is not showing any concerns to Doctors.
My blood tests doesn't show any major deviation in my haemoglobin(119g/l) but my Ferritin is high at levels 458 ug/L.

My GP doesn't see it as cause of immediate concern but I can feel I am not functioning correctly, is this level of ferritin is very high and needs to be treated urgently .
What Should be my next step ? Any information will be very useful.

Many Thanks,
Ash

Hello Ash,

Are you quite athletic? How is your blood pressure? And what is your daily fluid intake?  Also, have you had your thyroid levels checked recently?
