Anemia: Young girls can become anemic if they have heavy bleeding during their periods.  See your doctor for a blood test to make sure you are not anemic. Also dehydration can do this so drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol (they are dehydrating). Take a multivitamin daily.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Ask Benefits person: The person in charge of benefits at the insurance company should know the answer to questions about which doctors are covered by insurance and which do prenatal care. You have posted on HealthTap's free, public, informational forum for health questions. People post questions from all over the world. We volunteer doctors do not know the coverage details in each local area.

Question 9

where do emotions come from?

Accepted Answer

You: From that mix of genetic predispositions, personal character and history, experiences and a mix of hormones and neurotransmitters that constitute your psyche. The limbic system, hippocampus, temporal lobes, amygdala, prefrontal lobes, and many other parts of your brain participate by modulating the equation. As a result of all this, and more, emotions appear. Great question !
