Sorry to hear about your troubles at such a young age!
In my life I have learned that doctors have many choices in treatments and often prescribe a brand of drug for no real reason OR worse yet for the wrong reasons. SO I know for a fact that you can get iron from MANY different pills. My wife went through 3 different pre-natal vitamins before finding one that doesn't make her sick to her stomach. SO ask for FREE samples and try different iron pills until you find one that works for you.
As for high blood pressure???? Sad but true it is heredity! You can lower it some with diet and exercise but if your family has given you HB then control it as best as possible but you will probably need prescription help too. AGAIN ask for free samples to find one that lowers your BP without making you sick!
FREE SAMPLES are the way to go, and the drug reps. supply the Dr.'s with them just ask!
Dark green leafy veg e.g. spinach. Also letals and beetroot. Liver and kidney and cod liver oil is also a good bet. All these are high in iron. But don't forget to take in enough Vitamin D as well...this helps the absorbtion of iron.
i think u breave girl and u will fax it
For your anemia,take folic acid tablets. Eat healthy foods and have some green vegs and also fruits everyday.
For blood pressure, if it is inherited you should just try the meds to find the best for you. Control your emotional stress and avoid fatty foods.
For the HBP you could try Zestril. I had trouble with my pills and thats what I settled on
if there was a better way i am sure your docoter will tell you
