Brief Answer:
Can be low thyroid levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Night sweats and a very low body temp can indicate an under-active thyroid - this is the gland that regulates our metabolism.You need to get your blood thyroid levels checked.
The fatigue you experience might be due to anemia and will take a few weeks of iron therapy before it resolves. I would advise you first take some B complex supplements to watch for any relief.
Please do not worry, avoid stress, smoking, caffeine and alcohol to have better relief.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
