I've been told by at least 5 people they believe I'm anemic ( Not doctors, more like coachs) and I had a physical the other day and a real doctor told me they don't believe I'm low in iron.
My symptoms happen with exercise, but considering I play 3 sports year round I need to get this fixed.
When I workout pretty hard, doing sprints (happens way too much in track) I begin getting very dizzy, I slowly lose my vision and can only see blue. My head will start to pound ( it doesn't always pound, but most of the time it does) and sometimes (not too often) my upper chest hurts very badly. This also leads to me puking, a lot and feeling sick the rest of the day. On a normal day when I stand up I see blue and go completely blind and sometimes a headache follows. When I stand up it can last anywhere from 20 seconds to over a couple of minutes. This has taken a huge toll on my athletetic career and am not allowed to participate in volleyball until I get this figured out. I was recommened to go to a heart doctor and take eletric exams and other ones ( I don't remember the name wasn't really into the conversation honestly lol)
I am hoping someone thinks they may understand what this is, or if I am truly anemic. I just didn't believe this had anything to do with my heart... I thought more of my stomach or veins or something but I know nothing about medical issues so I am probably not right.
Please help me. I don't want to get all of these tests just to find nothing and still live with these conditions. I know for a fact it's not my diet, I also have been taking iron supplements to help considering my coaches believe I lack iron. I am not dehydrated.
Oh also when I workout I get insane cramps as if I'm getting cramps from my period (even when I'm not on it)
