See your doctor: This could be dysfunctional bleeding related to perimenopause but you need to be seen to have tests to rule out pathologic and potentially serious causes of abnormally heavy bleeding. You could also become anemic so this also needs to be checked.

See a GYN: At 47, changes in your cycle may be part of the natural changes in your hormones, a polyp, fibroids or even cancer. See your gynecologist for an evaluation.
