So tired, don't know what's wrong?!
Question: So tired, don't know what's wrong?
Sometimes during the day a feel faint. Sometimes if I sit in a chair and turn my head back, I feel so dizzy and start breathing shallow. Also today, I had a pain in the middle of my chest for about 10 minutes on and off....
I used to run almost an hour straight, but now I don't even have the energy to put my shoes on.....
Could I be anemic? I told my mom today about being tired lately, but she said she didn't know, and dropped the subject.
Oh, I also stayed home on Thursday from school just so I could sleep. I've been feeling this way for 2 weeks.... Should I tell her that I really need to go to the doctor? I used to have so much energy all the time, now my energy comes in every few hours for only a little while... I'm not sick or anything....
Sorry for it being long

Hey Gab...
Well, I'm sure you expect the answer I'm going to give you...
See a doctor.
Never take anyone's advice over a site like this...nobody knows what is wrong with you unless they are a physician and can examine you. There are many, many different things that can cause lethargy, such as a disease process like Malaria or Mononucleosis...also, you are correct in assuming anemia but a simple CBC and various other blood tests would be the defining factor here. You can never get anywhere just assuming.
-Jeeem-
Yes, Im 12 5"6' and about 100ish I was really tired for a while (I had the same symptoms as you). So I went to the doctor's and found out I'm slightly anemic. GET A BLOOD TEST. Be on the safe side. and Also, you should take a daily vitamin, that helps :) Good luck
You may have hypo-thyroidism. My boyfriend has it and he gets really tired and naps often. He also has to take pills everyday to keep it under control.
It sounds like you might have mono. I had it when I was your age and all I wanted to do was sleep. Please get checked by a doctor.
Sounds like you could have mono. Talk to your Mom again and tell her you need to see a Doctor.
