Hi I am a 20 year old female, I just had my physical today and I told the doctor how i have been sleeping alot lately, my period has been heavier than usual. This has been the case for several months now. She told me that I am anemic. I have noticed that I get cold very easily during times when the it's not really cold. My does turn pale sometimes, lips are dry almost all the time. I am a college student, and my workload expects me to stay up late nights but I can never stay up, I am goner after 10pm. Also I have noticied that I have been losing hair, my hair is getting thiner. I have a hard time paying attention in class, I start to fall asleep like 15 minutes into my leacture, and this can be seen with my grades dropping. My appetite: somes days i eat and eat, whereas other days i have one meal and dont feel the need for anyhting else. I weigh 114lbs and am 5'2, so I know i m not thin thin, because i have read that anemics are thin. Am I anemic or something else, please help!
