Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
Usually the optimum gap between two pregnancies is 3 years during which the body makes itself ready for further pregnancy.
As you had two pregnancies near by that might be the cause for your weakness.
I suggest you to get an HB done to rule out the anaemia.
As anaemia is also known to cause similar symptoms.
The heavy periods can also be the reason for anaemia due to excessive blood loss.
Though you are not feeling to eat try to eat.
Take healthy nutritional diet like fruits,milk,high protein food daily to build up your body.
Take iron rich diet like green leafy veggies,zaggery,dates,figs,liver etc.
If the HB is low iron supplements need to be
taken.
Otherwise nothing to worry.You will become normal.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
