Best Answer

What you'll want to do for your headache depends on what type of headache you are suffering. Many patients suffer low blood sugar or dehydration after giving blood and this can trigger certain headaches. Only your doctor can diagnose your problem. Please see a qualified physican or headache specialist for the information you need.

Yes, you can. I donate blood and after you feel a bit lightheaded so they make you sit at a table and eat cookies and drink juice. I was told that you can get a headache so it's normal. They take three bags of blood out of you and it takes 56 days for your body to replace that blood that was donated, that's why you can only donate every 56 days, not sooner. Taking that much blood can make you feel sleepy, lightheaded, have a headache. Also you shouldn't do any heavy lifting for the rest of the day and no smoking for 2 hours after donating.

Why do you get headaches when you eat sugar?

As your blood sugar rises, the body begins to produce insulin to bring it back to normal levels. If the body makes too much insulin, you "crash" and your blood sugar level drops too low for a time. During that time you will feel sluggish, irratable and have a massive headache. At least I do.
