Hi,

Feeling tired and lightheaded is indicative that you :
- might not taking the right daily nutrients
- have electrolyte imbalances
- have any infection

I suggest to run further tests to evaluate your situation:
- complete blood profile
- electrolyte levels
- fasting blood sugar
- lipid profile
- liver/kidney function tests
- abdominal ultrasound

If constipation is diagnosed, should take proper measures to overcome it:
- drink plenty of water
- take oral otc laxatives, lactulose, probiotics
- eat foods high in fiber
- take otc fiber supplements (psyllium)
- have your bowel movement when you feel to, do not delay

Hope it was of help!
