We aren't doctors, but if you are concerned you might be a anemic, the only thing to do other than see a doctor is improve your diet - iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia so make sure you are getting enough iron, maybe consider taking an iron supplement or multivitamin.
Many young woman struggle to keep their iron up, so even your problems aren't related to anemia, it's a good idea to make sure you are getting enough iron into your system.
