After donating blood two days ago...?!


Question: After donating blood two days ago!.!.!.!?
!.!.!.my muscles are still feeling really tired!. I walk up the stairs and feel like I need to hang on to something so I don't fall over!. I also get light headed every time I stand up!. Is this because I did a heavy workout the night before I donated blood, or do I need to drink something to replace my electrolytes or something!? I just don't have any energy!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Consume proteins!. Your red blood cells are depleted and it takes time for the body to rebuild them!. This is the reason people are only allowed to donate blood every 52 - 57 days!. Re-hydration is always a good idea, and the electrolyte replacement will help, but only as a short-term fix!.

Concentrate on eating red meats, lean chicken, and fish to get those red cells back up to speed!. If you're a vegetarian get a can of mixed nuts and snack on them throughout the day!. I hope you feel better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Flower, I'm no doctor, but after giving blood , in most cases you should be ok the day after the donation is made!. Please go to your doctor and let him/her know what is going on!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

This doesn't have anything to do with you having given blood more than 48 hours ago!.

You are likely ill!.

Hang in there,
