After blood donation prob

2017-03-11 18:23:48
Dear Doctor, I gave my first blood donation few days back in a camp. Immediately after blood donation I got weakness, eye blurred, headache, vomit. After 1HR everything became normal. Why it's happened like that. Do we need to take any precautions before giving blood. Can I continue to give blood after 3 months, will this happen again if I give blood? Thanks in advance

Hello there. I can understand your concern. What happened is normal and happens to many people. You need to first check your Hb levels. If it's normal, then you can donate. If it's not, then you shouldn't donate. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
