Unexplained Fainting and Health Issues
You seem to have nutritional deficiencies. Iron lack makes you tired, weak, and crave non-food items like slate pencil, coal, or bricks - known as pica. Fainting, shaky fingers, fast breathing, and long periods could relate to this too. Eat iron-rich foods like leafy greens, beans, and meat for a balanced diet. This can improve your symptoms. Consider consulting a doctor regarding these concerns.
