Question:
When giving blood, are there any health benefits for the donor, like a lower blood pressure or anything else?
Answers:
No direct health benefits, no. The blood pressure may drop momentarily, but the total volume loss should be barely noticeable to the body overall and it will compensate for it very quickly. It wouldn't be a dependable method to lower high blood pressure at all. Within a short time, the body replaces the fluid loss and the cells are replaced within days. Other than the mental satisfaction to know you have helped somebody else, there is no benefit to the donor.
