Why did I vomit after I donated blood?!


Question: Why did I vomit after I donated blood!?
I felt fine during my donation, but after I'd finished and was asked to sit up I began to feel nauseous!. Quite quickly I began to feel terrible, not light-headed exactly, but very nauseous until I vomited!. I was very hot and uncomfortable!.

After I placed my feet up and lied down I began to feel better and after I few minutes the horrible feelings had passed -- although I still felt weak!.

I spent the rest of the day lying down and drinking plenty of water!.

Today (the day after) I still feel weak and I look pale!. Am I ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Donating a pint of your blood means you are also donating fluid volume, electrolytes, glucose, and iron!. The sudden loss of any of those can cause symptoms!.

Re-hydrate yourself, eat a hearty nutritious meal, and you'll be back to normal in no time!. You're going to be fine, but you have to eat and drink!Www@Answer-Health@Com

also if you had not eaten anything before you went, you can get sick!. they usually offer snacks at a blood donation station for people who have not eaten before they came!. did they ask you whether or not you had eaten!?

personally, i can't stand to give blood!. it makes me sick!. i get nauseous everytime mostly because of the thought of being stuck by a needle!. its a psychological thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your blood pressure can drop after giving blood and can make you feel nauseated!. Keep drinking lots of water and you should feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
