16 and Scared and Worried..??

Question: I've been having flashes of 'purple glitters' ever since I was 14. At the time, it was said I had too many white blood cells -- but no diagnosis was made. They went away. Lately, I get them every day. I get very dizzy, I have a head ache, I'm always tired. I slept for the past 3 days, and I'm still tired. I'm expecting my period any day now, but I've never experianced these symptoms with peroiod before. I have a pain on my left side when breathing in. It comes and goes really, but it's shap and spreads. I also have little red spots on my arms. I went to the doctor, and She said I was fine, and it was just growing up. She said I had had my blood work done 3 months ago and everything was fine. If I do have blood problems, could they pop up in three months? What should I do? My mom think's i over exhadurate my symptoms, and claims that be being tired is just my state of mind. I really don't know what to do. Is she right? She put the blood pressure cuff on me, and after she took it off...

Answers: You need to have your iron checked. I'm willing to bet you have an iron deficiency. Did your blood work include that? I'm not sure about the side pain while breathing though.

I usually don't say this but you need to see another doctor. That one doctor doesn't sound like she knows very much about it. I hope you get better!!!!
