Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some anemia. You should go for complete blood count, peripheral smear examination and anemia profile. If you have iron deficiency then you can take oral or injectable iron supplements. No need to eat meat as compulsion. You can take vegetarian diet with high iron like jeggary, dates, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits etc.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
