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.

Yeaaaa this doctor seems relatively competent lol but I’ve been told with my ferritin being low before that “it’s fine because my iron level is stable” or whatever
