A member asked:
After giving blood why does my arm feel heavy, weak, and tingly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For how long?: Short term, may be for half hour so, the feeling may be due to the effect of the tourniquet used during blood collection. If the symptoms have persisted beyond that, contact the blood bank where you donate blood. I admire you for doing your civic duty and donating blood. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
