The main causes are iron deficiency, folate deficiency or vitamin B12 deficiency.

If you are diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia, this must be investigated: the most common causes are heavy menstruation, and colon cancer.

You definitely need to see your doctor; this is easily treated, but trying to do itself could do harm; for example taking only folate if you have vitamin b12 deficiency can cause permanent spinal cord damage.

Don't panic, but see a doctor!
