Hello,
I think you feel weak because you may have anemia as a result of bleeding. You should do blood count, gynecological ultrasound, Pap smear etc., to find the reason of the spotting and irregular periods. Take an appointment with gynecologist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
