Does this sound like anemia?

In short I feel sluggish, extremely irritable and on some days, I feel really down. I've noticed I constantly have a dry mouth and my heart beat is sometimes so loud in my ears/head. I just feel like i'm a lot older than I should be at the age of 26.

I'm suspecting anemia as this showed in my test results when I was pregnant last year. I'm thinking perhaps it's just stuck around and my iron stores have never really recovered properly?

Low iron
Thyroid issues
Low B12/folate
Low vitamin D

Many things can give you similar symptoms. Book a chat with your Dr so they can arrange for some blood tests to see if there are underlying causes. I hope you feel better soon Flowers

Definitely worth a quick blood test to see.
