Yes: Iron deficiency anemia is common in young women, and your symptoms are often seen in iron deficiency anemia. It's easy to diagnose by a simple blood test, and easy to cure with oral iron supplement. Of course, other disorders could be the cause. It's just that iron deficiency anemia is more likely.
