Hi,
Your symptoms are suggestive of anaemia - decrease in blood haemoglobin(Hb), which is much more common than lymphoma. You should get your Hb level examined and also a peripheral smear and differential count. If you have anaemia, then the cause needs to be looked for, most common being intestinal worms. A differential blood count will help in ruling out lymphoma too.
All the best.
