Not possible to tell: For sure, but it sounds like you are anemic. You need b12, iron, folic acid, functioning bone marrow or red cell producing tissue and you need to not continue to bleed heavily if you are going to get better. Also it takes months often to recover from anemia. See your doctor for a cell count. Anemia is not the only thing that can cause you to feel short of breath.
