Answers:
Call them or see your gp!.

I had problems after donating blood, I had other underlying medical conditions that had not been noticed!.

Other than that, when donating make sure that you drink plenty of fluids up to 2hrs beforehand!. You may be very dehydrated!.

I always had problems when the air pressure was high - humid thundery days, this is quite common from what I have been told!. I have really naff circulation, very common in girls and women!.

Oh - stick to cold drinks afterward!. I know the norm is for a cup of tea, but hot drinks always make me ill - similar to what you describe, afterward!. This again, is quite common!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this is may be normally happen the confusion and disoriented may be due to hypotension don't worry about it should be quite and take rest !.
whilst the arm must be examined to see if there is any sign vein thrombosis!.if there is no sign of inflammation may be due to bad manipulation during collection of blood sample!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The confused, dizziness, and disoriented could all be you being anemic, (low iron in your blood)!. Have you ever given blood before!? Drink some orange juice!. I would call them, and if you ever give blood again, remember to tell them about this side affect!. You probably need to have your doctor to check you out to see if you are indeed anemic!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, you should call them!. it won't start a panic!. they are used to people having various reactions!. tell them exactly your symptoms!. if you can't get in touch with the donation place and you are concerned then call your doctor!. but definitely don't drive or do anything that requires attention or physical exertion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

How long ago did you donate the blood!? They should keep you there and give you a biscuit, something quite sugary, and keep you laying down for a while after until you feel fit to go home!. I would suggest having some chocolate or something, but if it's been a while then yes you should probably call them or a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Umm well nothing shoudn be wrong!. But just eat some stuff!. drink juice!. Youre body needs to remake the blood you gave away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
