Hi , firstly my answers are limited by lack of information on age and previous illness .
In case you are an adolescent or young adult , for the symptoms that you have described i would provisionally diagnose you with hypothyroidism with anemia which is due to lack of iron in diet .
i suggest you to have Thyroid stimulating hormone tested and serum iron tested .
I would be happy to follow up on your progress
