Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

The symptoms you have mentioned are most common in either anemia ie., low iron level and low hemoglobin in blood or in diabetes. Just have a blood test of both these and with consulting your treating physician, Go for management.

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
