Can I donate blood if I am feeling weak?

    Short Answer

    No.

    You should donate blood only when you feel completely healthy, energetic, and physically fit.


    Detailed Explanation

    Feeling weak may indicate:

    • Illness
    • Poor nutrition
    • Lack of sleep
    • Low haemoglobin
