anemia

anyone dealing with anemia? my hemoglobin is 10. I'm low on iron. didn't do a good job taking my iron after birth and stopped taking my prenatal pretty quickly too because I got anxious about choking on it. just recently started Flintstones with iron. still breastfeeding part time and my diet is crap. I hate meat. I feel exhausted, my hair is falling out, I'm short of breath often, my heart pounds randomly and I get chest pain which all fuels my anxiety and fuels my symptoms. and I get dizzy alot. I've seen my primary, a gi specialist, and an oncoligist/hematologist. he says after two months if there's no improvement we can infuse iron. he said there's a 2% risk of allergic reaction and with my anxiety he might as well have said 50%. I'm just scared alot.
