A member asked:

Why do i get chest pain after i donate plasma? should i stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Did you mention it to the blood center doctor? It may be a side effect of the citrate used to anti-coagulate blood. Please do inform the blood center doctor or nurse, before you donate next time so that they may make appropriate observation. You are to be commended for your altruistic act of donating plasma!
