I was diagnosed a year ago with a Hiatus Hernia with acid and also have nodules on my thyroid. I take a 20mg PPI (Protium) each morning.
Then a couple of weeks ago my regular blood test showed that my iron had dropped to 10.5 (range is 12-15). This is the lowest it's ever been and although my doc was relucant to put me on iron tablets because of my stomach issues, he felt I needed to try taking them. Well, I've been taking the Iron with Vitamin C tablet(all in one tab) for a week now,one tablet each day with a meal, which I find very difficult because the tablet is hard to swallow as it's bigger than the PPi one (used be able to swallow anything before the hernia and acid)
My main problem is that for the past few days I feel as though there is something in my throat and my throat feels raw and sore. I have never had this symptom with my stomach issues so this is new to me. Could the Iron/Vit C tablet be causing this or is it something else?
