don't go give blood and and workout

Getting that red blood cell count down?

I had my annual physical at work last Monday. They took some blood, we walked into another room for another test and I hit the floor. I couldn't believe it. I've never fainted from that before

I’ve always had to have blood drawn for work a time or 2 a year and use to occasionally donate blood. Never had an issue in my 20s. Got to early 30s and passed out for the first time. I had been fasting for cholesterol check and my appointment got pushed back so I went to work and was in the heat, I drew it up to that being the problem. It happened 2-3 more times after. Now I go in and tell them I got to lay down, it’s awkward but better than passing out. If laying down, as soon as they’re done I’m good and get up and go.

When I was in the army me and my friend would always grab a six pack after giving blood.

ya i had the option to not practice but i made the dumb decision to play anyway...
