Can I donate blood if I have low blood pressure?

    Short Answer

    It depends. Your blood pressure must be within the acceptable range and you should feel completely well.

    Detailed Explanation

    Low blood pressure is not automatically a reason for deferral.

    However:

    • Your blood pressure must meet the acceptable donation limits.
    • You should not experience dizziness or fainting.
    • You should be medically fit on the day of donation.

    If your blood pressure is too low or you feel unwell, the Medical Officer may postpone your donation for your safety.

    Key Points

    • Blood pressure is checked before donation.
    • Feeling healthy is essential.
    • Donation may be postponed if necessary.
    • Safety always comes first.

    ❤️ Your safety matters just as much as the patient's. Donate only when you're healthy and eligible.
