Dear- thanks for using our service. I read your question in details and will like to tell you that there is no possibility of sweating blood,so it might be that you have been bleeding from some part of your body . You have difficult breathing when you fold the legs because you are compressing the diaphragm which is the muscle that control breathing and when you are in this position that what happens. I recommend you to check for any site of bleeding.
I hope my advise has been helpful
