Getting light headed with blood being drawn
Yeah you're having a vagal response. Don't sweat it. Started happening to me in my early 20s. Was dating a girl and she decided that a good date would be to donate blood. I didn't even make it to the draw, I nearly conked out when they pricked my fricking ear.

She broke up with me not long after. I never found out why.

On another occasion, I hit the floor in the elevator after having a TB stick done. The people who were waiting at the bottom got an awesome shock. I stood up and walked out.

Good story, TB test, shots, and glucose tests never have bothered me. I felt a little better after my coworkers, or at least some, admitted to same problem (maybe just to make me feel better) Didn't help one of coworkers was there. Dr did tell me, it's always middle aged white men who do that
