I never did take anything, but I went to another doctor and I had my levels retested, and it was fine. So, I don't know why they were so abysmally low before.
We also tested B12, and that was fine. So, there was nothing off.

I just don't know why I feel so bad. It is not all the time. I just have these "episodes". The doctor I saw the other day said she wanted to refer me to a cardiologist since I reported that I feel short of breath and have heaviness in my chest. Seriously, right now, one of my kids is sick and is quarantined in bed upstairs, and I have to go up and down, and I feel like I am just not going to make it. I am so, so lightheaded by the time I get done, and my arms feel tingly and heavy, my chest is heavy, and I feel like if I don't sit down right then I am going to die.
It could be anxiety, because it feels a lot like panic attack for me, but I don't know why exertion brings it on.

I have noticed that this seems to happen when my period is trying to start. Do you think that could be related?
When I say "trying", I mean that my cycles now are such that I spot for 4 or so days before it actually starts.
