Tired, fatigued, out: of breath a lot, pale lower eyelids, when you invert them. Pale skin, or almost ghostly white. Your PCP can do a simple blood test to determine if you are or not, and what type of anemia too. Your irregular periods, weight, height, and vital signs would also help determine this. So, basically, you need a history and physical. Then, let the PCP Dr. make recommendations to get you back on track!

See physician: and discuss if you have Raynaud's phenomenon which means that after exposure to cold your blood vessels narrows reducing blood supply to finger tips or nose tip
