A member asked:

Please tell me what vitamin deficiency causes head aches, sleepiness, and pale skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Iron Def Anemia: This is Iron Def Anemia ., Most likely due to blood loss . In women in the reproductive age , it could be due to heavy menstruation . Other causes , maybe due to blood loss from the Gastro intestinal tract . It is detected by having a blood count . If YOU think you have any type of ANEMIA , please see your PCP for work up & Diagnosis .
