Ann,

Too much iron in your blood isn't a good thing. Please treat this
seriously. What does your doctor say? What have years' past levels shown?

Not to be alarmist but.... There is a disease called Hemochromatosis
characterized by too much iron built up in the body. The treatment is
regularly "giving blood". However, if the disease is not treated in a
timely fashion it can be debilitating. I have a relative with the
disease and he found out very late.

Regardless of what it is, it's very important for you to follow up
*dilligently* with your doctor.
