What do you do to recover from blood loss or blood donation?

Answer 1

Immediately after giving blood you need to rest or sit down (for at least 10 minutes). You also need to eat a lot of foods (particulary sugary foods) and drink something like coke, tea or coffee (you must have a lot to eat and drink after donation). You must also avoid heavy work or exercise for at least 24hrs. You cannot have a bath for the rest of the day (the day of your donation). Finally, just one or two important things to note: 1. If during or after donation your are feeling unwell, you MUST tell a doctor or nurse immediately. 2. If, for example, 2 days after donation you are not feeling well, you need to see a doctor ASAP.

Answer 2

After you donate blood, it is important to get enough rest. Eat nutritious not-too-oily food and drink plenty of water, as well as fruit fluids. Lastly, forget your night routines and sleep early. If you still feel dizzy a day or two after your donation, it's time for you to see a doctor.

Answer 3

Relax and drink a glass of Orange Juice and eat a cookie. When you feel up to it, get up and leave. This is pretty much standard procedure at most Blood Centers and will be explained to you when you go in to donate.

Your body makes more- and fairly quickly.

Naturally, red blood cells will produce red blood cells. That's why losing some won't hurt you, losing alot at one time however will.
