when you die from blood loss, do you feel like you are dying from not being able to breathe? Because your lungs are breathing but you’re not getting oxygen where it needs to go, would it feel something like suffocating?

Answer 1

The body feels suffocation from CO2 buildup rather than a lack of oxygen, so dying from blood loss wouldn’t cause that feeling because it’s not reacting to a lack of oxygen.

My understanding (as not a medical professional) is blood loss is relatively painless on its own, it makes you sleepy until you just fall asleep and die (if not saved).
