The symptoms you have mentioned suggest of Anemia in general, but to know which type of Anemia, you need to do some blood tests, correlating with physical examination.
You are a young woman, Having Anemia from a long time needs evaluation as early as possible.
Kindly consult a physician at your place for further work-up.
