Hi and thank you so much for this query.
From the symptoms you have reported, the severe anemia is responsible for these symptoms of light headed. I will recommend that you get some rest, drink enough fluids and all would settle in place as the body picks up again. Because you have been taking these medications for a while without any symptoms, I will not want to think they are the cause at this time.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
