Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I donated blood about 5 hours ago. An hour afterwards, i got very dizzy, flushed and ears ringing. the flushing passed after a few minutes and i became pale. I've drank two cups of orange juice, some soda (not diet) and eaten some penut butter. I still feel crappy. I had donated many times before my surgery (surgery was 3-3-03)and never felt this way, but this is the first time i've donated after my surgery. MY iron level was very good at 40. Am i feeling this way because of the donation or what? do i need to go see a doctor (i called the blood services dept, and she said something about seeing a dr to put fluid back in me??)
