Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
For the first time having longer period unlike other months, may be due to the anemia, or infection, or may be due to the chest infection with cough.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to aid the improvement of hemoglobin.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Excess bleed in one or two cycles is common due to hormonal disturbances, not to worry. If your symptoms reoccur in subsequent cycles need to get evaluated. May need endometrial study.
fatigue could be from many reasons, Consult your doctor for examination and need to get few test done for evaluation. CBC, Thyroid profile test. fatigue is one of the symptom in reduced hemoglobin.
Shortness of breath could be due to problem in lungs or heart. Examination of chest by qualified doctor, need to get ECG.
Chest infection need antibiotic treatment.
If cough is due to infection of chest, Warm salt water gargle 3 times a day is helpful.
hope this helps you.
Regards
