Internal Bleeding, Anemia, Ulcers. Now Fatigue. Reason?

My Mom was in the hospital last week for internal bleeding . It was discovered she was very anemic and ultimately, four ulcers were found. She seems to be doing better. . . except she is extremley fatigued. We have a follow-up appointment with her PCP on Friday of this week. . . where do you think this fatigue is coming from?

Where the ulcers are... the fatigue is mainly due to drop in Hb.. No hard unaccustomed work till Hb is>8... Iron supplements may help.. If so symptomatic transfusion may be considered
