Is it normal to pass out after blood test?

Today I went to go get a blood test, I had to fast so I wasn't aloud to eat or drink anything in the previous night or morning.

I was feeling fine, the lady took out about three vials of my blood and I was told to stand outside because I also had to do a breathing test.

After about a few minutes I started to feel dizzy, and everyones voices were getting muffled and it was starting to get difficult to stand. I passed out on the floor for a few seconds after that where the nurse gave me a soda and told me to lie there for a minute. I got better but I had to go to the doctors next door so they could check if I was okay and I was let go.

Nothing has happened like that in my life ever, I'm not scared of needles or blood, and I've had previous blood tests where I had to fast, so I don't know why it happened?

      I am proud of you Rosie. Your benevolence helps us creeps. I used to donate blood, but I can't anymore. A lady I had once had sex with developed blood cancer and died. Poor lady.

        Wow! Where does the blood cancer come from?

          It is not sexually transmitted. But it is nasty enough that nobody wants to take chances.

          The answer to your question depends on which cancer. There are leukemias, lymphomas, myelomas, hodgeskins, and others.

      It's OK to give blood but not receive it. FAGGOTS have pressured the FDA and succeeded in forcing AIDS into the heterosexual blood supply. Be careful.

        I wonder if you can bank your own blood? I wanna say you can, but I dunno.

        I just read your linked article.

        "Gay rights advocates said the updated policy remains discriminatory."

        This is clearly malicious intent to poison the general population. How can FAGGOTS be respectable people if the leaders they support want humanity to die?

        Fuck you FAGGOTS!

          Exactly, your logic is very sound.

            Thank you. There is no way that the updated policy is discriminatory. That statement is sickening. I encourage everyone to click into your link.

      If you read the post OP makes it clear it was a fasting blood test, so no, h/she didn't eat beforehand

    normal to get faint after a fasting blood test. Less normal for non fasting, although the more blood they take the greater the chance of getting faint
