A member asked:
I am anaemic and i take iron meds and folic acid i have been feeling a little light headed for a good two days and the smell of food (eggs especially) has me feeling nausea and i feeling tired and sleepy most of the time?

I think you need: to be rechecked regarding your anemia...and possibly have a pregnancy test! Feeling tired and sleepy is a frequently reported sign of pregnancy and the nausea, with or without rotten eggs, can be, too. Make a visit to your doctor--you need to see what your current blood count is and have pregnancy ruled out ... or ruled in!! Good wishes:)
