It may be that: Your fatigue & shortness of breath are from anemia, since you have prolonged bleeding. Best start by seeing your gynecologist to find out what's causing your bleeding & other symptoms, so as not to miss a potentially serious condition that could be more easily treated if diagnosed early. Don't put off getting a thorough evaluation.
