Question: Will having a blood test make me faint?
I fainted at school today coz I have low blood pressure.
I'm still feeling weak, and mums making me go get a blood test.
Am I going to faint again?

Answers:

awww, you shouldn't unless your one of them type of people who pass out at the sight of blood, saw the other Q, yes, could be low blood pressure, you getting up too fast or a low iron count, they will tell you what the prob is and you how to counter it, don't worry about it :-)



It's possible. If you feel feint, put your head down between your knees. Take slow deep breaths. Think of anything but the test, don't look. Ask a tech. to talk to you to keep your mind occupied. And ask then to bring you some orange juice to sip when it's over. It will be cool and soothing to you and help fight off the feint feeling. Make sure to get medications for your low blood pressure, especially if you drive. You will be alright, some people just don't like blood drawn, even big burly men feint sometimes.

Helped with a clinic once.



The blood test shouldn't make you faint unless you are queasy around needles. In that case, look away when they do it and try making small talk during that time. Good luck!



Only if you're a wuss. Grow up.



Just don't look
