Aches, cracking and tiredness

You probably just need to incorporate more stretching daily. If you're also stressed out, yoga. Your complaints are totally normal. Most people who are stressed out and achy have a simple fix. Low iron makes you tired and dizzy, but the body aches are probably a result of moving less because you're tired. If you think you have a nutrient deficiency, see a doctor to confirm.

Definitely see a doctor. It can be many things. Don't self diagnose yourself

Dizziness that persists despite adequate sleep and plenty of water can mean you're dealing with some kind of deficiency. If you've changed what you've been eating, that could easily mean you're no longer getting all the nutrients you need.

The best way to deal with that is to pay your doctor a visit and have bloodwork done. Might want to mention your dad's comment, too. Not sure if nutrient deficiencies are hereditary things, but it won't hurt.

Hopefully it's a simple fix

Thanks for your reply. My family are just annoyed because they thought that as soon as my exams were over, I would just instantly be happy and carefree because I wouldn't have to worry about exams...

I can never do yoga because I have no balance. I know I shouldn't be so negative, but I just don't bend or anything, and I fall over with the simplest move. I guess practice makes perfect!

I will see a doctor, thanks!

Practice makes yoga! I just started again after some very bad, stressful years, and I have to remind myself that I practice yoga to DEVELOP better balance and BECOME flexible! In addition to being anemic, I have a kidney transplant, moderately severe hearing loss in both ears (what balance???), a screw in one foot, a dialysis fistula in one wrist, etc, as well as some heavy personal stuff, and I've spent a lot of time being angry with myself for no good reason and taking it out on my body. I have been a powder keg of pain and stress and imbalance. And now my body and brain are a little more flexible. I'm looking forward to see how far I can go with it. I've had friends since elementary school, I've developed the skills to be a stage performer (and even received accolades! Me!), and I've kept my transplant healthy for 15 years! I think we owe it to ourselves to be open for new challenges, especially if it will help us live happier in our bodies.

A couple weeks after I dedicated myself to a new practice, I spoke with a surgeon about removing my gallbladder. For a second, I considered putting off practicing until after the surgery. Derp! A steady, gentle yoga practice is going to help me heal! So I started with easy, basic poses and got comfortable just being inside my body for a bit. Then, I started researching things that would help me deepen my practice and work through pain and tightness. I still have trouble with many basic poses, but I've also noticed that I'm becoming braver and more confident about trying new things (poses, foods, fashion life goals). If you're worried about falling over (me, too), do floor poses. Or use props. Accept your limits, too. I don't do it if it hurts, and if I'm sore the next day, I stick with the easy stuff.

I saw after I posted that you had already mentioned seeing a doctor. My apologies for the lazy reading comprehension!
