Health Question....(regarding iron intake)

so I got bloodwork back today and it says:

'Iron level is high, please stop taking iron supplements...'


Ummm, I'm not?? haha Not sure why they would write that if I told them I'm not taking any supplements/vitamins......

Anyone have an answer of what exactly this means.....I eat meat like maybe 3 times a week (normal!) & I like my leafy veggies but not anything out of the ordinary....(I fasted before my bloodwork too....so confused!)



Anyone have an answer?


p.s. this is my second bloodwork b/c the first time it said I have high potassium which is a common bloodwork error.......but seriously???

That's unusual that you'd have too much iron... usually when I go they tell me I don't have enough... we lose iron when we have our period so most women have low iron...
Can you ask your doctor?
