I have extreme fatigue all the time. i am currently exclusively breastfeeding. is this related?

Yes: Having an infant and breastfeeding is extremely exhausting, just to begin with. You may have other issues though, that need to be checked out. You might want to see your doctor and have your blood count checked to make sure not anemic, as well as your thyroid checked out. Pregnancy can induce changes in our bodies that weren't there before pregnancy. Good luck!
