What Causes Breathlessness, Lightheadedness And Lower Back Pain?
Hi I am a 23 year old female and a non-smoker. I have been having breathlessness when i walk any distance, I also get a very light head and feel very weak. I also have been getting pain in my lower back on the right side that comes and goes. I was wondering if you could give me any ideas of what can be causing this?

Hello,
Likely cause for your problems is anemia. Do you have menstrual irregularities like heavy flow, black tarry stools etc.
You get your hemoglobin levels tested, if low you will serum iron studies, and later iron supplements. Hope this helps you and get back with report.
