Summary
The user noticed fatigue, cold hands and feet, brain fog, heart palpitations and panic attacks, plus GERD/gallstones and back inflammation, and was in and out of doctors for about two months, undergoing repeated testing. Omeprazole helped the acid and back inflammation, but other symptoms persisted. After low iron was found, more dietary iron and prescribed iron pills were followed; by week 2 many issues had gone and brain fog, fatigue and panic attacks were absent.
