Brief Answer:
Iron supplementation is the best, if not then iron infusion though IV

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: Please note that oral iron supplementation is key to treatment, however, are you having dark stools, is there a true reason you are iron deficient, remember that if you are having GI bleeding then with time you become iron deficient causing anemia, so I hope this has been worked up already. Some patient also get Epoeitin shots to help the kidneys produce more signaling for hemoglobin production.
