Answers:
You are exhibiting most of the signs and symptoms of anemia!. but anemia can be caused by several other conditions and not just the iron deficiency!. It would be wise to go to your doctor so he can run some blood/lab test to rule out any other problems you have!. A family/general practice doctor will be good enough to do this for you!. or you can go directly to an internal medicine doctor!. try taking some over the counter iron supplements to alleviate your symptoms while you are waiting for the doctor to see you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
