    Hello.

    Are you anaemic do you know, as that is common for us sufferers...i get it constantly.

    That can make you very tired and breathless.

      Hello.

      Everyone is different.

      Wont stop u exercising.

      U should maybe get ur gp to give u a blood test to check your iron levels.

      Being low on iron makes u so tired.

      Def see ur gp.

      😃
