Why Am I Experiencing Black Out And Depressed?

Hi, I have been 'blacking out' or 'greying out' as I don't ever faint completely, a lot recently. I have also been really fatigued and short of breath, moody and feeling a bit depressed. My blood pressure is on the healthy of low, when it was last checked 8 months ago. Could I be anemic? I am living in Indonesia at the moment and I struggle to get red meat and enough vegetables into my diet but I have started taking iron tablets everyday.
