Thanks that makes me feel better and I don't think thats part of his job to be telling me that anyways.

What?! That surely is not the pdoc's place. If it's been over a year, go see your PCP and get some bloodwork done. At least find out if your anemic.
Last July I kept wanting to sit down shortly after starting any little bit of housework. I assumed I was depressed, even though I really didn't feel despondent. Then I struggled to carry a few groceries in from the car and had to rest before I could put them in the fridge. I went to the E.R. They found I was "critically" anemic. They ended up giving me a unit of packed red blood cells. What a difference that made! One of my symptoms for days beforehand had been nausea and sudden vomiting. (It seems being under-oxygenated can make you nauseated and needing to throw up.) Six months prior, my bloodwork was all fine. Things can change a lot in a short while.
Hope you feel better. Currently, I'm doing pretty okay.
