A member asked:
Why did i have a near-syncope episode after giving blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful: It is common to feel somewhat light headed after donating blood. Everyone reacts differently, but by donating you are briefly compromising your own circulatory effectiveness for a short period of time. It rebounds very quickly.
