Answers:
This is such an extreme reaction, I wonder if it is something else, like flu or food poisoning!. If the blood bank is still open, call them for advice!. The most that's happened when I've given blood is extreme fatigue!. If it continues till tomorrow, call your doctor!. Keep drinking fluids!. Some people say that 7-UP helps keep fluids down!.

Hope you feel better real soon!. You've done a good deed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do not have any medical training at all, but if I were you I would call an urgent care and speak to a nurse or doctor asap!. You can also call the after hours number for your regular doctor!. It might not be anything to be alarmed about but a nurse or doctor will need to let you know if they need to see you or if you can maybe eat something to regain your stability and strength!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The technicians could have taken too much blood or your system could be in shock from losing blood!. Eat salty/spicy foods and drink plenty of fluid (other than just water!.) Fruit smoothies are a great choice after giving blood!.

My brother grew too fast as a teenager and his body didn't produce enough blood to reach all the way to his head!. After physical activity or anything strenuous on his heart, he often experienced the same symptoms you're describing!.

Hope this helps, and feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink some orange or apple juice!. Snack on a banana, granola bar, or ice cream!. If you haven't eaten since the donation, that could be it!.

If the feeling doesn't begin to ease within a few minutes of replenishment, call nurse line or your doctor's office!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds more like low blood sugar!. You need to drink some orange juice, or milk or eat some peppermint or an apple, something to balance your blood sugar!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should try to eat something, you wont feel much better until you do!. Or have a high calorie drink like e milo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
