Default Low Iron interpretation

IRON, SERUM or PLASMA 50 - 170 ug/dL my level 47
Iron Binding Capacity Total 240 - 450 ug/dL my level 263
TRANSFERRIN SATURATION 20 - 50 %sat my level 18

I got my iron tested to see if I have a genetic disease like my father (hemachromatosis) and it appears I don't. My doctor just said that my levels were low but not anemic and thats it. I don't understand the transferrring saturation and binding capacity along with low iron serum and what this may point to. My doctor didn't seem to think anything of it. Thoughts about having nueropathy, tachycardia along with low iron? I have started taking Iron supplements and it has helped me feel better and have less nueropathy but my tachycardia seems to be getting worse.
