Four months ago I had menorrhagia due to perimenopause. It lasted 60 days non stop. As you would imagine, this made me grow very anemic. Symptoms were chronic fatigue, terrible heart palpitations, pale skin etc. I took 325 mgs Ferrous Sulfate 3 times a day along with Vitamin C in order to build up my blood again.
I did this treatment for three months and it worked. I have now slacked off on the supplement and, with the menorrhagia over, I am pretty much back to normal. Still, there is one symptom which does not go away that has been with me ever since the anemia. I have a constant “pinched” heart. It is not exactly an elevated heart-rate except sometimes. It is also not a pounding heart except sometimes. My heart just always feels pinched- strained you might say. There is a tightness in my heart at all times.
What is causing this, and can anything be done to fight it?

 I am not familiar with this term and have never known of anything like this being related to menorrhagia. I think you should see your primary care physician so he can listen to your heart and determine if more tests are needed.
Best wishes.
