Hi,
These symptoms are unlikely to be corrected by vitamins alone. They are varied symptoms and would suggest to me that you need some general investigations including bloods and an ECG to start with. A healthy diet should contain enough vitamins so that you do not need to take vitamin pills. You may possibly be anemic but this would be difficult to be certain of without blood tests.
