reasons y i cant donate blood.* im less than 45kg.
* i got e nurse to check n she saes my vein is too thin.
* i've got pretty low blood pressure approximately 100/60.
elaboration.
* only 10% - 12% of blood can b taken frm a person's body or else it might b too big a blow for e person. also, the one taking e blood is considered as commiting a crime.
* 1 pack of blood = at least 300ml.
* so meaning for 10% - 12%, u haf to b at least 45kg to b able to collect at least 300ml of blood.
* dey don collect less than 300ml cos its no point collecting dat small amt.
* ppl w too thin veins wil oso b rejected cos e needle might b way too huge for e vein.
* tis wil in turn lead to bruises and causes complications.
* ppl w small veins r advised to do some hse work or exercise to 'enlarge' e vein b4 u can actually donate.
* u mus haf a blood pressure of at least 100/60 b4 u can donate blood.
* mine is lyk superly borderline.
* low blood pressure can lead to fainting n thus not encouraged to donate.
conclusion.
* most prob i wun b able to donate my blood cos dey cant even find my vein. n even if dey do, i might jus faint due to low blood pressure n dem taking more than 12% of my blood.
* i wan to check my haemoglobin e nxt tym round.
* if i don pass dat round, meaning i failed at all stations.
* at least dat wil make me make me less bu gan yuan n it thus wil convince me dat im really not able to donate my blood.
* actually i wanna donate jus to haf e feel of it n much more i can save 3 lifes. so y not rite?
