it is a high possibility that u could be low on iron. you could call the doctors and try get an earlier appointment. foods that are high in iron include red meat and green veg, as well as that its important to take vitamin c as it helps absorption of the iron. u can get galfer iron tablets in the chemist and they will turn ur poo black so dont be alarmed!
drink plenty water and dont over exercise. early nights and try get up early enough too. hope i helped
i take iron tablets-galfer- and they REALLY help me! i used to be dizzy all the time wasnt even able to read an weak and i felt the difference with the iron tablets within 3 hours of taking them.
Do you really expect sound medical advise from here?
Call your DR and tell him and insist on an earlier appointment.
Do see a DR and get a blood test.
Stop being a twit.
