Yes, do a temporary shutdown while bleeding/healing.

It used to be standard to recommend these things to us risky candidates, but now they say go ahead and do what you do. Basically if you are going to bleed, becoming inactive won't help anyway. You're still going to bleed. But while bleeding, don't help it along. Try to let it heal on its own.
