Hello. Im a 20-year old healthy female. Today, I went for blood donation for the first time ever. Everything went fine, I didnt even feel dizzy... Just drowsy. However, when I was there, the injection site continued to bleed. And now, 7 hours later, its still bleeding... But a lot less and slower... Should I be worried? :(
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. 7 hours later if still bleeding from site, it is worrisome. However, if you are moving the limb and did some heavy work, then not to worry.2. If you did not have similar episodes previously, when you were injured, then it is nothing to worry.3. Put pressure on it for 5 minutes and then do not move the arm much. If it still continues to bleed, the hemostats is test like Bleeding time, PT and APT is necessary. Meet your doctor at the earliest. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
