Maybe: It could be iron, or another issue such as a thyroid problem, or anemia. These are easily evaluated with an office visit and lab work.

It could: Iron deficiency would cause you to be anemic which could then cause you to experience the symptoms you are describing. Your doctor could easily diagnose this with a simple blood test. Other possible causes for your symptoms need to be excluded as well
