Complicated: If you have significant anemia, breathing problem and fatigue are not unexpected ( i hope you are taking iron supplements). The anemia plus the asthma (+ menses) may work together to cause the breathing problem when each individually would not . Why you are on tranexamic acid. No asthma control medication? As for bloating, this is not an uncommon complaint during menses. See internist/allergist.
