Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You are almost peri-menopausal.There are only two reasons why you may be having irregular cycles.First,it may occur due to physiological causes like natural menopause.Second,it may occur to pathological causes of the uterus and cervix.
I suggest that you see a gynaecologist for a pelvic examination where the condition of your uterus can be assessed.You will need to get some blood tests done also for hormone profile:LH,FSH,TSH.Along with that a ultrasound of the pelvis is necessary to find out if there is any pathology.The tiredness and weakness could due to the blood loss.Incorporate leafy veggies in your diet.Any sudden hormone imbalance can cause the symptoms you have described.So i suggest that you get these tests done so that we can gain a better idea about the situation.
