A member asked:

Is it safe to tandem skydive from 14,000 feet if you donated blood 2 weeks ago and have hypertension that is under control with medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and No: For your question specifically - the answer is 'Yes' - you can go about ordinary functioning 2 weeks after donating blood and keeping on track with your medicine for hypertension. BUT, jumping out of a plane seems extreme!! I suppose if it's on your bucket list, then you can go ahead - I just think it's a bit insane personally. If it was me, I wouldn't do it... Sorry to rain on your parade!
