Exercising after donating blood?!
Question: Exercising after donating blood!?
I am donating blood today around 1pm!. I usually go to the gym after work, around 4pm!. Is this too soon to do vigorous exercising after giving blood!? I'm not sure if I should skip this workout or do different types of exercises, today would normally be an upper body workout!. I don't want to pass out or something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yea, skip a day!. At most just do simple stretches or something!. You may even wanna go light tomorrow too!. Since you won't have as much blood, your organs and brain will need that blood that you do have!. Working out is just going to send the blood to your muscles and could cause damage!. Make sure to ask when you do give blood though!. It does depend on how much you are donating!. And thanks for donating blood!. That's a really good thing to do!. :DWww@Answer-Health@Com
Im pretty sure you will have to skip a day of working out!. You have to wait a certain amount of time, I cant remember how long but its more than 3 hours!. They will likely tell you after you donate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think it's too soon, but maybe ask them when you give your donation!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
