Hi there,
Most common cause for you could be anemia which could be a result of the blood loss associated with normal periods. Research indicates one third to one half of "normal" women have anemia. You may need to take iron supplements and vitamins if anemia is confirmed by blood testing.
You may also need to test for hookworm in your stomach if it doesn't go away with the first approach.
Regards,
Joey
