Low Blood Pressure After Iron Infusions

I have had 2 ferritin iron infusions one week after another. 2 days later after the second one I was very dizzy upon standing and my pressure went very low for me. That was 3 weeks ago. I now have low blood pressure all the time, from high blood pressure that I had for 8 years. Off blood pressure meds, having things with salt. Cardiologist can't find an explanation unless it's the infusion that caused this. At wits end. Anybody ever hear of this ? Hematologist insists it's not infusion after so long.

Yes, the NIH and the FDA both list blood pressure changes as being possible side effects, additionally, it is also well known that some people never stop experiencing them, after receiving such infusions. I have talked to many other people that have experienced serious issues for years, and in some cases, the rest of their lives from them.

Some other symptoms that the FDA reports as being possible on a long term basis include headaches, and body aches.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?
