Hi,
Your irregular periods and tiredness at this age suggest menopausal symptoms.I would suggest you visit a gynecologist for evaluation by doing hormonal tests.
Eat healthy food which is rich in iron,protein(like soya food) and calcium.
Drink plenty of water.Eat small amounts of food more times which increase your energy.
