Why did I vomit after I donated blood?!
Question: Why did I vomit after I donated blood.?
I felt fine during my donation, but after I'd finished and was asked to sit up I began to feel nauseous. Quite quickly I began to feel terrible, not light-headed exactly, but very nauseous until I vomited. I was very hot and uncomfortable.
After I placed my feet up and lied down I began to feel better and after I few minutes the horrible feelings had passed -- although I still felt weak.
I spent the rest of the day lying down and drinking plenty of water.
Today (the day after) I still feel weak and I look pale. Am I ok.?Health Question & Answer
