You fainted: What you describe is a common event for some with blood drawing. They faint as the BP drops & blood pools in your lower body. You recover, but you likely feel anxious about the event. I wouldn't waste time in worry as this is common & does not mean anything terrible. Your anxiety is likely triggering stress hormones that trigger your appetite. It should pass in time.
