Wow your fast Miss Blessed. Getting right onto that check up, I like it. :)

It's not normal, but it's not abnormal, if that makes sense? My vitamin blood panel only took up two vials, but sometimes they take more. It just helps them separate things that they are testing for.

6 is kinda high, they must be checking for a lot! Good stuff.

But will I pass out??? I feel stupid I'm so scared

[jessed03]

Have you already had it did you say?

[rusticnrg]

I get the same way. I actually cant look anymore so that way I dont know how much they take. You will not pass out. You would have already. The body makes blood very quickly and you are already replenished. I always ask to lay down for a spell after they take blood. I know its just my nerves but it makes me feel better.

[Blessed]

Have you already had it did you say? yes just now

[jessed03]

I'm the same, I get faint after one blood test LOL.

Sit down for a bit, have some juice, and you'll be ok :)

[Blessed]

Hate to be blunt but can I die from giving 6 vials dang I hate this!!!!!

[jessed03]

No, you can't my dear.

The worst that happens is that you become a little woozy after having it taken. If that didn't happen, looks like you're good to go.

Like rusty above says the body replenishes itself very quickly.

Blessed,

Jesse is right. Think about people who donate blood. It is done all the time and it is way more than 6 vials. No one dies from it.

You are fine! Now just get on with your day, the absolute worst thing is you could have a small bruise from the needle.

Smile!! It's just your over active brain at work leading you down the anxiety path!

I'm trying I promise but my heart rate is 110 could that be issue or just my nerves? I feel so terrified right now I'm sorry to keep asking questions

I'd say almost certainly that it's your nerves. Especially seeing as you've been building up into a bit of a panic.

What do you do to cool yourself down in moments of panic? Getting some air, and lots of positive, reassuring self talk always helps me. :)

[needtogetwell]

Blessed,

It is nerves. You have managed to get yourself really worked up over this.

Don't worry about heart rate, go for a nice walk, look at your surroundings, is it a nice day? Grass green? Flowers? Just find something else to occupy your busy mind.

Do anything, just stay away from dr. Google and the heart rate monitor. They are not helping you.

You are fine!!!

Thank you ...

The sight of the needle makes me nauseous to my stomach.

Hey Blessed,

I'd suggest you to:

1. Throw out your heart rate monitor out of the window
2. Throw out your blood pressure monitor out of the window

They're not doing anything but making you more anxious. "What will worrying do about it other than ruin the time you are healthy?"

[Blessed]

You have no idea how much I want to do this. I know it don't seem like it I get on here freak out and whine but something simple as drawing blood had me fearing for my life. I feel like I am holding on by a thread here and don't understand why I can't just think normal. I feel so faint right now it's been 4 hours

[Blessed]

Sorry to keep posting its 140 now what can I do I went for walk and breathed in paper bag and took two ativan

How about a warm bath? Does something like that help you relax?

[Blessed]

[Blessed]

[Blessed]

[Blessed]
