always cold, irregular periods and bruises easily Posted: 03-05-06 18:36pm
My girlfriend is 16, 5'11" and weighs
about 127 lbs. She has a lot of things
which I think are problems and I can't
seem to figure out what's causing it all.
She is always cold. She has irregular
periods and light mentrual flow. She is
often very hungry and eats a lot (as a
vegetarian). She bruises very easily and
the bruises often remain for an unusually
long period of time. She experiences
headaches and dizziness on a regular
basis, often when sitting up too quickly.
She is drowsy oft times and falls asleep
on the phone as early as 9 pm. Any ideas
or interpretations would be greatly
appreciated.

She cold be anemic for bruising easily and
easily tired. But I would try to get a
blood test. It could be something more
serious. I don't want to scare you, but
just to be on the safe side. Good luck.

If she is a vegaterian, maybe its her diet
thats the source of the problem.
She probably needs some vitamin and iron
supplements to help her out to make up for
what she's not getting by eating red meat.
