hey guys,

my girlfriend has been complaining for the last couple of months that she gets blue marks on her legs when she wakes up in the mornings. shes gained a little weight (i disagree, but shes adamant that she has) even though she doesn't eat all that much.

recently she almost fainted twice, and came back to within 15-20 seconds. Both times she had had little or no food for a while (8-12 hours). I blame hunger/low blood pressure but one of her friends suggested that she might be anemic.

I'm pushing for her to go see a doctor ASAP, but for the immediate future, could this be anemia or are we fretting too much? any other ideas?

thanks!
