Severe Cramps,abdominal Pain, Trouble Sleeping, Lightheaded And Nausea. History Of Exercising And Calorie Reduction. Anemia?

Not sure if I have a problem or not, was trying to wait it out over the weekend, but getting a little worried.
I started my period two weeks early(I'm on birth control), and it has been heavier and longer than normal, I contacted my gyn, and they advised me to take a pregnancy test, if it was negative, I was OK. Well it was negative, so I didn't think much until it started dragging on. Also I've had severe cramps and abdominal pain and trouble sleeping. I figured since I started heavy exercise and reduced my calories, it was no worry to be a little early on my period or tired but unable to sleep. My doctors asked me nothing about my recent lifestyle or anything, which surprised me. But now I am fairly certain I am very anemic and very shaky and light headed and nauseous...I plan to call first thing in the morning, but I'm a little scared. This is not normal

DEAR SIR/MADAM

WHEN EVER YOU TRY TO REDUCE YOUR CALORIES AND INCREASE YOUR EXERCISING THEN AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOWING HAPPENS.
1. DECREASED ENERGY SOURCE - INCREASED UTILIZATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF ENERGY, CAUSES INCREASED KETONE BODIES AND FREE FATTY ACIDS CAUSES SOME OF YOUR EFFECTS.
2. INCREASED EXERCISE CAUSES DECREASED ELECTROLYTES WHICH CAUSES LOW POTASSIUM LEVELS CAUSING HYPOKALEMIA WHICH INTERN CAUSES MUSCLE CRAMPS.
3. REDUCED CALORIE INTAKE INTERN REDUCES THE ESSENTIAL VITAMINS AND MINERALS WHICH CAUSES YOUR SYMPTOMS.
4. INCREASED IN THE OXIDATIVE STRESS CAUSED BY PRODUCTION OF OXIDANTS CAUSES THESE SYMPTOMS

SO SUPPLEMENT VITAMINS ACCORDINGLY ALONG WITH ANTIOXIDANTS THEN ALMOST YOUR PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.

THANK YOU
