Why do some People faint when they see Blood?!


Question: Because blood phobia doesn't start as a phobia.; it is the only one in which you actually do faint instead of just feeling as if you will.

Some people seem to have inherited a tendency for their blood pressure to drop whenever they see blood. It's conjectured that this is a survival response to help keep one from bleeding to death in a fight. In some of us, the tendency is really strong, and we plop over in a dead faint.

After getting really faint on a number of occasions, people develop a phobia that is associated with the sight of blood. It's a case of classic conditioning."

How to keep from fainting. Because your blood pressure drops when you do, you need to bring it up as quickly as possible. So when you feel light-headed, tense your muscles quickly. Zipppp goes your blood pressure. Hold it a few seconds, and then release your muscles, but not all the way until you're certain the urge has passed.


Once you had some confidence you wouldn't faint. The rest was just systematically exposing you to more fearsome
