Not Normal: This is clearly not normal. You should see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

See below: Constipation in and of it self would not cause you to be anemic...The most common cause of anemia in a women your age would be heavy menstrual bleeding or recent childbirth ...Though there are many other causes.
