Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Eight weeks is too long for any after effects from blood draw and it would be prudent to see your doctor or contact the clinic where blood was drawn. 
Wish you good health!
