Iron infusions- Consider this!

A few months ago I was prescribed 3 iron infusions 3 days apart by my hematologist. I have anemia caused by fibroids which cause extremely heavy menstrual bleeding. Well the first day the nurse did it in the shortest amount of time, it seemed like it took 15-20 minutes, I can't remember the exact timing since they give you IV afterwards as well. I felt this weird feeling in my chest , the 2nd time, I felt strange in my veins, like something suddenly crawled in my arm and the back of my neck and in my legs, so I went back the third time, and the nurse took an hour do to it because I complained, and she updated it in my chart so now they all take about an hour to do it, and I have felt better . The sensation in my heart is still there though off and on. thoughts? Comments? shares please?
