Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Madam, Thank you for posting your query on HCM. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that you need no worry about that , most of the time it is due to consumption of some green vegetables like peas the previous day . It is mostly because of that. Can you remember eating any such food previous day. Take care. Dr. Shruti

I ate green beans and a soy chicken patty!! Nothing I don't eat on a day to day basis. I haven't taken any iron supplements either.
