Heads up for anyone who donates/wants to donate blood
I donated double red recently (2nd time ive done that) and i was not prepared for my asthma flaring up afterwards. I looked it up, dr google said its just bc i lost oxygen carrying blood cells but i dont remember this ever happening before. I was kinda already in a flare with stress from finals (just finished my 1st year in college) and i think maybe allergies and the weather changing and being on my period. It really wasnt that bad though, just a minor annoyance and i was getting better then after donating it starting getting bad again. So just a heads up for yall: apparently ur asthma can flare up after donating 🥲
