A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have no fear!: Let me applaud you for deciding to donate blood as it is a life-saving action! other than, hopefully, a single needle stick, there is no pain. You most likely will have no symptoms from donating a unit of blood. You will be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for several hours after donating. Just relax and enjoy feeling good about what you are doing for someone else!
