Is lifting weights after getting blood drawn ok?!
Question: Is lifting weights after getting blood drawn ok!?
I had a small amount of blood drawn at my last physical, only a small vial for a test but I'm wondering if it's ok to lift weights a couple hours after!? The blood was taken out of my left arm, you know the spot opposite your elbow!.!.!.your elbow pit as you might call it but I'm not sure if lifting weights would cause the blood clot to break open and start bleeding again due to the increased blood pressure from muscle contraction!. Anyone have any idea!?
Note: I went ahead and lifted anyway and now I've got a yellow bruise a little larger than the size of a baseball but I was assuming that was normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
It perfectly fine!. The amount of blood they took out if not enough to impact anything you do!. They would have told you to recstrict certain activities if that were necessary!. Bruising is just a result of you not holding the puncture long enough for the blood to clot and is absolutely not anything to worry about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you probably should have waited just to make sure you were ok and to allow your body to replace the lost blood!. next time wait at least a day or two because you don't want to potentially pass out!. weight training puts a lot of straining on your body and you really do need a full supply of blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
