Yes, research suggets that patients already having chronic heart diseases are susceptible to sudden pain in the chest or angina due to low levels of iron in the body. Hence, it is advisable to maintain healthy iron levels in the body to prevent angina.

What is a serum ferritin test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing skin loss in the middle region of my tongue for over 1.5 years. I have already taken several vitamin supplements, including B12, and my blood tests appear normal. I am not diabetic. I am highly sensitive to spicy foods, which causes loosening of the upper palate area. I also experience dry mouth at night and occasionally remove candida growth using a soft brush. Could this be atrophic glossitis?
