Brief Answer:
It can be anemia

Detailed Answer:
i can understand your concerns.

Getting tired during menses can be sign of anemia due to blood loss.

please get your hemoglobin checked.

have these symptoms started recently ?

Taking iron pills might not help as we need to know the cause of anemia and how much is the blood loss.

also can you please describe the bumps on you forehead in more detail and if possible please upload a photo of the bumps.
