After the procedure
After donating you sit in an observation area, where you rest and eat a light snack. After 15 minutes, you can leave. After your blood donation:
Drink extra fluids for the next day or two.
Avoid strenuous physical activity or heavy lifting for the next five hours.
If you feel lightheaded, lie down with your feet up until the feeling passes.
Keep the bandage on your arm for at least four to five hours.
If you have bleeding after removing the bandage, put pressure on the site and raise your arm for three to five minutes.
If bleeding or bruising occurs under the skin, apply a cold pack to the area periodically during the first 24 hours.
If your arm is sore, take a pain reliever such as acetaminophen. Avoid taking aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others).
Contact the blood donor center or your doctor if you forgot to report any important health information before you donated or if you had any problems or needed medical care after giving blood. You should also call the center if you:
Continue to feel nauseated, lightheaded or dizzy after resting, eating and drinking.
Notice a raised bump, continued bleeding or pain at the needle-stick site when you remove the bandage.
Feel pain or tingling down your arm, into your fingers.
Become ill with signs and symptoms of a cold or flu, such as fever, headache or sore throat, within four days after your blood donation. Bacterial infections can be transmitted by your blood to another person via transfusion, so it's important to let the blood donor center know if you become ill so that your blood won't be used.
