Consult Now
Run a cbc which will give you an idea about red blood cell count plus hb levels. Also, do iron and serum iron feritin.
Next Steps
You can approach an MD first and make him have a look at your blood works. If you want, you can forward me your tests and I can design a nutrition plan for you.

Feel free to book a consultation.
