Yes, I have. I'm also getting checked out to see if I am bleeding internally. Something one of my cardiologists recommended. Hope you situation gets better soon.

My is due to CKD. Dizziness is extreme. . Have you had any iron infusions? (Plasma given intravenously). When mine gets too low they do the infusion 2x a week until it starts rising. My Liver specialist does it in his office as does my Cardiologist or Kidney Specialist…whoever orders the blood work first. I’m a frequent flyer at the Lab! Best wishes, I hope you find some answers.
