Help!!!!!?

Answer:
Iron deficiency causes fewer red blood cells which carry the oxygen. It's called anemia. Over time it can be bad. You might try a good multivitamin supplement for awhile, couple weeks, see if you start feeling better. I don't personally recommend straight iron pills 'cuz they make you constipated, but if you're really anemic the doc will tell you to take them and eat right.

its probably a thyroid problem. Or it could be that you are anemic. These are both easily treated. You will have to have blood drawn at the doctor and have them test it. I don't think its a low blood count.

...you cant have a low blood count, if you did that would mean you somehow lost alot of blood, in which case youd be in the hospital getting a blood transfusion.See a doctor, since your mom obviously doesnt know what shes talking about.

Well it's never a good thing when your blood doesn't level out. But look on the bright side it could just mean you need more Iron in your diet. I know that when my Iron gets low I feel really tired and drained.

See a doc. It could be a hormonal imbalance causing you to have heavier periods and then making your iron low. If it is something that simple it can be remedied by taking a womens multivitamin. But definitely talk to a doctor.
