What is it anxiety or is it my low iron level

[CanadianGal72]

Hi I am 35 yrs old, since june 2007 out of the blue i had limp feeling in my throat when i swallowed..I became nervous and stressed after being to specialists and they said there was nothing wrong with my throat...then 1 month later I had a weird feeling in my ear (swimmers ear).....again specialists said nothing wrong there......2 weeks after that i started having burning sensations in my upper arms on and off.....then my back........and then my thighs.......i went for a physical the dr said my iron level was at 8. I am now taking 1 iron pill 2 times a day. Is it possible that these muscle aches are due to my low iron level or anxiety.?

Well it seems evident from your post that you've been worrying a lot about your health lately, so there's a good chance this is being caused by anxiety i'd say.

Have you suffered anxiety before?
I just recently was treated for low iron and my symptoms were more like short of breath, tiredness, and headaches. This could be a side effect of the iron pills......

i have had alot of headaches but they have diminshed and also the tiredness is getting better,,,,,but 1 dr did say that muscle aches and burning sensation was due to the low iron.......and i had they aches before i took the iron pills but then 2 other doctors said that the muscle aches is not due to the low iron level.
