Left-Side Headaches, Fatigue & Low Iron: Possible Causes & Concerns


Question
I'm 14 years old, and i have found that i have Really bad head pains on the left side of my head, it feels as if i have been punched and it's throbbing and with the pain, I'm always cold and tired. These are most of the symptoms that my brother had before he was told that he had cancer, I was wondering if maybe this had something to do with it. Also i had a blood test about two days ago and they say i have low iron. Do these symptoms sound familiar to you, in any illness?

Answer
I am assuming you are a female and your low iron may be related to female related issues.

If the headaches are as you state you need to have testing performed.  There are a number of things that are possible.
It may be due to the low iron, could be migraines, or related to eye problems.  Please don't think of it being the worst but you do need to get it checked.
