Consult your Doctor: Having tremors what part of your body?Tremors are not caused by Iron Deficiency Anemia.Lightheaded and sleepy can be due to many causes.You are only 17 years old.If the symptoms continue,consult your Family Doctor or Pediatrician.It may be nothing serious,but if the symptoms persist,then consult doctor
