Anemia most likely possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

You are possibly suffering from reduced blood hemoglobin. This condition is called anemia

This condition is associated with increased bloodloss and headache.

Please get blood hemoglobin levels checked immediately and send me the report to identify the anemia.
