About post-blood donation symptoms? |
I donated blood recently and I fainted straight after the procedure. I was donating under 10mins, at approx 500ml. (50-60ml/min). At the injection site there is bruising and it is very swollen. (purple with a few red lines in the bruise). I also had a mygrain after the incident despite plenty of fluids being taken. I am uncertain whether or not I have injured myself anywhere else but my chin, whilst being unconscious. You can find a lot of information about the fainting with a simple internet search. Fainting after donating is not uncommon. Donating blood reduces your blood volume, which forces your body to compensate to maintain blood pressure. Some people's bodies compensate better than others. There can also be other factors at play (e.g. look up "vasovagal"). |
