Possibly: People perform at their best when healthy, well rested, well nourished & in a relaxing setting. Anemia means you have less oxygen getting to your brain so this can be a problem for your ability to focus. The platelet count is not a problem.

Agree with Dr. F: Take oral iron and multivitamins to treat your anemia. If you have excessive blood loss through periods, talk to your gynecologist to consider taking a type of birth control that can limit your periods to once a year. Get HPV vaccine Wish you good health!
