Your post is not loading for some reason so I'll just respond based on the heading: FFS, call 111 or 999, not post medical questions about serious stuff on a student forum. Anyway the normal way to stop bleeding is to apply pressure - for example, press a piece of clothing against it. If it spurts though, that needs immediate attention. As you posted 2 hours ago, let's just hope you're alive.
