So I have been having issues with some dizzy spells and 3 months ago my iron was low so I asked my PCP to run me some labs to see if maybe my iron was tanking  needless to say I was pretty suprised by these results.  My B12 showed slightly over 1500 which doesn't suprise me as I took the shot the night before.

So what is considered high for Iron and what issues may arise other than crapping nails?

Thanks
