My iron deficiency is most likely caused by a very high dose of ppi I'm taking for my hiatal hernia. I started suspecting something was wrong when I suddenly had two migraines with only three weeks apart, when I normally get them about twice a year. I'm luckily seeing a gastroenterologist on Monday to discuss everything, but man... The migraines are horribly painful - 6 straight hours of pure hell that I'm barely able to recover from due to my non-existent energy reserves. As a result, my anxiety for a possible next attack keeps increasing, and I panic throughout the day whenever I think I'm seeing an aura as I'm terrified it will happen again.

God, I hate being anaemic so much.
