How to keep from fainting at blood draw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tell phlebotomist: If you know that you faint after blood draw, tell the person drawing your blood before the procedure, so that they may position you accordingly and ensure that you rest for a while after the blood draw. It may help to be properly hydrated before coming for blood draw.
