Anemic????!
Question:
Anemic????
I have been diagnosed with anemia since about 9, i have been a vedgetarian since about 11/12, at first it wasnt sio bad becuase they gave me nothing. Since nine i havent had a blood test and given nothing to help. It is getting quite bad, i can not do a lot my friends can and obviosly get tired more easily, also im really pale, get ill more easier (always have a cold), takes me longer to get over things, extremely poor concentration, mood swings, weekness, always sleepy, bags under my eyes, find it hard to breath sometimes, black vision for a couple of seconds, increased heart beat, dizziness and headaches, and a couple more. I have done some research and have found these to be symptons of anemia. But is it getting bad enough to see a doctor about it. Its bugging me if i should. I probably should but i thought ide ask some other people. Its affecting my school life.

Answers:
You say you are a vegetarian, have you done research and are are eating healthy foods or have you just given up meat. Eggs are a very good source of iron if you will eat them. Get some help at a health food store and please check back with your doctor the symptoms you descibe could be a lot of different things.
