Hello,
Left sided pain is indicative of heart attack symptoms. Pain on the left side radiates to the chest, neck, jaw, etc. Left sided waist pain may be a symptom of kidney disease, pelvic disease or damage to the spleen. Sometimes, pain can be due to sprain or strain on the left side muscles. Neuropathy, gastrointestinal problems like constipation can cause similar symptoms. Dehydration, low blood glucose level, low blood pressure can cause headache.
Since you are suffering from anemia you should not skip meals, take meals in time. Take food rich in iron, calcium and protein. Get clinically examined by a GP, get tests and investigations done so that any underlying disease can be detected and you can be treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
