I am going to donate on Friday at my university. I have donated twice before, and the last time I did was a really bad experience. I got extremely faint, my heart was pounding, and I was gasping for air. For the next few hours I felt pretty bad. I am still gonna do it, but I'm sorta scared. Does anyone have any advice? Should I drink/eat as much as possible beforehand? Does anyone know if exercise right beforehand is good or bad? I just really don't want to repeat my last experience. Thanks for the help.
 
Nancy, you might be anaemic. Get your iron levels tested before you donate. That's all I know

I'm universal type...


Which country are you in??? As far as I know, Russians and Canadians are donating(or going to donate) blood. I don't know if I'm wrong...

EDIT: I didn't see you're from Argentina in you profile... I think you can call you local red cross to ask about that.

Just reminding everyone that if you haven't given blood, there's still a need.

If you tried to give blood and there was too big a crowd, there's still a need.

And if your pulse was irregular (like mine), and you have to see a doctor to get approval to give blood, THERE'S STILL A NEED.
