Can you give blood if you have anemia? My doctor thinks I either have that or this really rare rapid heart rate disease. I went to get my blood tested, but they haven't called me about the results yet, so I'm not sure if I'm really anemic. Either way, I have an EXTREMELY rapid heart rate -- at rest, it's around 96 beats per minute. But my school is having a blood drive next week and if you do it, you get these really nice flannel pants. I really want the pants!
Are any of you guys anemic? Know anyone who is? Can they give blood? |

Question: Can I give blood if I am anemic?
Answer: A trained technician will test a drop of your blood before you donate. If you are anemic, you will not be permitted to donate on that day. However, in healthy individuals, anemia is not a permanent condition. If you were told during a previous donation you were anemic, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot give blood now. |
