Had some blood work and was call in by my doctor because he said my iron count was low which was a 7 j haven't been feeling well dizziness and difficulty breathing. I went back to my doc who sent me to the hospital for a blood transfusion.. The hospital ran another test and my iron came up to 8.5 so no transfusion was given .i want to know if 8.5  safe and is that ok. Thanks
