I keep fainting and I don't know why

It started about a little more than 2 years ago. I noticed this heavy drowsy feeling when I was around 16. I thought I was just overworking myself or experiencing hypoglycemia. But drowsy moments progressively got worse and seem to have no correlation to anything. Then I gave birth after a year and they reached their peak. About 3 months postpartum they started getting so bad that I would fall to my knees and would barely be able to get up. Just like how when you're zoning out you try to break through it but you get pulled back in. My knees give out almost every time now. But I don't usually fall, I just look like I'm off fent or something. It's like involuntary total muscle relaxation. This happens probably 4 times a day and only lasts a minute. And again I'm perfectly conscious! Just slumped 😅 it's kinda worrying. The only thing that seemed to help me was taking iron but I feel like I'm always taking iron and it's still happening so idk... Help!!
