I wasn't into sports 'till recently. While playing soccer in a club, I've noticed that I was always the first one short of breath, sweating, fatigued... I could say that I'm better compared to my other teamates. I could outrun, outplay; and in terms of power, kick farther and harder than most. But that would only be for the first 10 minutes. Then, I would be sweating "like hell"! Recently, girls in our club started avoiding me. Obviously soccer is a physical sport, there would at least be one or two instances where you two would have contact with each other in getting the ball and you know how sensetive (or insensitive) girls can be. Sigh... I'm losing my interest to play; even though I train harder, still they're better than me in terms of stamina.
I've started thinking I may have anemia: fainting at school when I miss eating breakfast, intolerance to heat(sweat and fatigue) and cold, offbalance after getting up, etc. I take chelated iron, vit B12, C, cal-mag-zinc, etc. Any solution?

You need to go to the Doctor, a blood test is necessary to diagnose if it is anemia or if there is some other problem.Can you make an appointment to see the physician ASAP to get a diagnosis.

yup see a doctor to get blood tests.
your symptoms can be caused by 1001 things.
the fainting when you miss meals is most likely due to low glucose levels or hypoglycemia, please eat, this will reduce your likelyhood of fainting. also will give you the energy to last more than 10 min in your soccer game.
intolerance to heat and cold dont usually coexist. off balance when getting up can be caused by anemia, but also due to other things like ear infection, adrenal suppression, blah blah.
taking iron vit b and c are good for you in general, and also will reduce certain types of anemia. however it won't help that much if you arent anemic to start of with, or if you have a differnt type of anemia not caused by low iron or low b12.
many problems can cause anemia, and many problems can cause your symptoms. lots are potentially treatable, and some may be serious, so please check it out with a doctor.

If your breathing hard, have you been checked for COPD or asthma?

My B-12 was because my body couldn't absorb B-12 anymore
So I have to have shots. They found this with a blood test


Be aware that 7 out of 8 Drs that I went to said I had the flu
