Answers:
When you had the blood tests done, did they test you for Iron deficiency!? Because the symptoms you describe sound like you are Iron deficient!. I went though the same thing when I was around your age as well!. Iron deficiency is more common in females than men because of our monthly cycle!. After a week of taking iron tablets I noticed a huge improvement in the way I felt!.
The symptoms below are copied from the Blackmores Health product site:

Symptoms
Iron deficiency anaemia is more common in women than men and is associated with:
* Weakness
* Fatigue
* General malaise or tiredness
* Bluish lips, pasty skin, pale gums, nail beds and eye-lid linings
More severe symptoms such as breathlessness, light-headedness or dizziness may indicate more severe anaemia and medical attention should be sought immediately!.
Causes
Iron deficiency is usually related to dietary intake of this important mineral, but other factors may also be involved!. For example, women who lose excessive amounts of blood through heavy menstrual flow may have become deficient in iron!. Many mothers develop anaemia during pregnancy, as their iron stores are diverted to the developing baby!. Additionally, those who have suffered blood loss due to accident, surgery or chronic disease are also at risk of developing anaemia!.

If you where not tested for Iron deficiency (anaemia) then next time you get to the doctor get them to another blood test!.
In the mean time I think you should start taking a course of Iron Tablets from a health shop!. Talk to them and get them to recommend the best brand for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
