Work up needed. Anemia or low blood appears likely with more than one source suggested for bleeding and with symptoms typical of anemia. The source for bleeding may be upper gi, stomach/esophagus and that has to be investigated among many other possible causes for bleeding. If established with a primary care doc, that will be your best first stop.
