When there is a serum ferritin deficiency in the body the person experiences fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and chest pain.
The ferritin levels are usually low due to a poor diet or a diet that lacks iron. However, chrons disease and other underlying medical conditions can also result in low ferritin levels. If you have low ferritin levels then you are recommended to take a diet rich in spinach, and fruits such as bananas and pomegranate.
You can increase your ferritin levels without affecting your iron by consuming more copper-rich foods, like shellfish, liver meat, fatty fish, oysters, spirulina, mushrooms, shrimps, and dark chocolate.
An extremely high ferritin level could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron.
The symptoms of high and low ferritin levels are different from each other. Low levels of ferritin include fatigue, dizziness, and headache. High levels of ferritin may include heart palpitations and rapid heart beats.
