Brief Answer:
It can be iron deficiency anemia or lack of exercising.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think that the fatigue, feeling heavy and headache are directly used to antibiotics usage.
We usually prescribe probiotics and vitamins ( C and B complex) with certain antibiotics in order to help body support the treatment.
I can recommend you to do a total blood count because headache and fatigue may be related to iron deficiency anemia.
If you have iron deficiency anemia taking iron supplements may help you treat it.
Also exercising can help you increase your level of energy , increase muscle mass and make body movement easy . Also exercising can help you with headache.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
