Just want to feel better....

I'm 17. I weigh 100 pds and I'm about 5ft 3in. I'm not lazy but i'm not really athletic either. I eat a mixture between healthy and non-healthy foods. For the past few years I have felt extremally tired and I get these headaches in the front of my head. They aren't necessarily bad headaches but I always have them. They come and go everyday on most days. Recently I started have heart palpitations but they occur rarely. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a heart murmer. I was also tested for anemia, since it's genetic in my family but my doctor seems to think it might not be the case. What do you think I might have?

maybe epsteinbar virus or cronic fatigue syndrome.  your heart murmer would be unrelated.

Although your doctor seems unconvinced, the first illness that I thought of when I read that you were fatigued and had headaches was anemia.  I'm anemic and I take iron daily for more energy.  

But as I read on that you were having heart palpitations, it seems more like the symptoms of Lyme disease.  If so, you may also find that you have a skin rash somewhere.
