Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
It says that you may have bleeding hemorrhoids and wants to know how seriously could this cause fainting.

If the bleeding is too much so as to cause anemia, it can cause cause fainting.
Secondly, the site of the bleeding in the pane also can cause fainting.

I would advise you the following:
To consult a Doctor to get a clinical evaluations to see the reasons for fainting and to get the per-rectal and proctoscopy examination to see what is causing the bleeding (as per the history you have provided).

I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Please feel free to ask further relevant query if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
