Can Pale Skin With Headache And Dizziness Be The Symptom Of Anemia?

I'm 13, and i think i might be anemic. I am very pale in skin color, and always very shaky. Lately i have been having very frequent headaches, as well as lack of concentration and dizziness. I feel weak, especially after getting up out of bed in the morning.

Hi,
All the symptoms do point towards a diagnosis of anemia.
You need to meet your doctor to look at your nail beds, tongue or lower bulbar conjunctiva to identify palor.
Further confirmation can be obtained by laboratory evaluation. The type of anemia can also be obtained through the complete hemogram.

How it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
