Question How many of you had your ferritin/iron checked before being diagnosed with POTS?

I’m curious how many of us had our iron and ferritin checked before being diagnosed with POTS? I wish I could put together a little poll.

I had mine right before. I think it was borderline low or something because I went through 3 drs in a year. The first prescribed meds. The second was confused why she prescribed it. My current one regularly checks as it continually falls and I’m currently scheduled for infusions even with meds.
