Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, it is possible that you are running short of red blood cells. I would suggest you rush to Emergency Department for proper assessment and laboratory investigations. Apart from receiving blood, the exact cause of this frequent blood shortage needs to be known and may be treated if possible. I would advise you see a hematologist for that.

I hope that answers your query. If you have more questions or any follow up query do not hesitate to write to us.
I wish you well
