A member asked:
I had a phlebotomy a week and they took 200ml too much i felt awful ever since how long until i'm feeling better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like they: Took about 1.67 units. Should rebound in another week or two. Delay the next procedure until you feel better and HGB is 12 or higher.
