I'm really worried because I've been dealing with anemia for the past five months, and then about a month ago, my heart test showed something called mild tricuspid regurgitation. Could the anemia be the reason for this heart issue? And if it is, what steps should I take to address it?

Anemia can sometimes lead to heart problems such as tricuspid regurgitation due to the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. To help treat your anemia and improve your heart condition, I recommend taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg once or twice daily, as well as Vitamin B12 supplements. Additionally, it is important to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, spinach, and lentils. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
