Nausea after donating blood
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hello I‘m going straight to the point because I can’t manage an introduction, sorry.
Tuesday, 29th of Jan. at approx. 7:30 in the evening I donated blood for the first time. I‘m relatively small being just 1.50m (5‘0) and 50 kilos (110 pounds).
I lost the 500 ml of blood in 3 (instead of 10) min. After donating from my right arm, my right hand was numb and tingly. This lasted for the next several hours. Right after the donation I was fine. I ate and drank but now, 30 hours later, I‘m miserable. I have headaches that come and go but the nausea and lightheadedness are constant and keep me on edge, feeling like I’m going to be sick any second. I cannot sleep for a longer than 30 min.
On the day that I gave blood I drank just enough and ate a good meal. Has anyone an idea what’s happening? My bloodpressure was 110 to 70 and I'm not anemic.
I would be glad if someone had an idea or similar experiences and would like to share it with me. Thank you for your help and have a nice day.
