I passed out during a blood test

[cpas]

I always faint during blood tests, apart from the last one I had for some reason!

I did tell a previous nurse that I always faint and not to worry. She said 'You can't faint laying down'. How wrong can you be

Happened to me a few years ago when i went to the docs for an insect bite and they tested my blood pressure and put me on tablets and took some blood, the lady who was trying to get my blood out wasnt very good and after digging about in my arm i went a bit faint, luckily since then i have been ok.

I do admit for being 6ft, 16 stone, shaved head i'm a complete softy when it comes to anything with needles/hospitals.

Jonty, while you've stated that you are both powerfully built and have a shaven head, you have failed to inform us of your facial hair status and red bull consumption and can throwing range ...

but seriously feeling faint is incredibly common ...
