Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing

Hi, I have hard time breathing sometimes. I wouldn't be doing anything I'd br sitting down watching tv and my heart starts pounding really fast and I feel like I can't breath any more. I get up to get a drink of water and I start feeling light headed, I told my doctor but he didn't say anything was wrong with me. I have low blood and low iron and I'm not sure if that's the problem. I take vitamins and iron pills but I'm not committed to them. I'm 16 turnig 17 next month. Can you please help me?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Lethargy, breathing difficulty, palpitations etc are symptoms of anemia.
You are not taking iron and multivitamin pills regularly. So your anemia will not improve and your symptoms will persist.
So better to take your iron and multivitamin pills regularly as per directions of your doctor.
Eat more fruits, green leafy vegetables and pulses.
Don't worry, you will be alright once your anemia is cured.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
