Today we had a blood donation at my school, and I decided to do my part and donate. I passed all the tests, and wasn't nervous at all. I got hooked up, and she told me to tell her if I felt hot or dizzy. 20 seconds into it I got really hot and dizzy and tried to say something but she didn't hear me and I passed out. I was woken up and finished donating, and then I got up and walked and passed out again. It really sucked. Its now been 5 hours, 3 bottles of water, and a pizza dinner later, and I still feel lightheaded and have a headache when I try to read. Why is this? Also, why did I pass out? I'm a male, 6'1", and weigh 135 (so I'm pretty thin). Is that the reason? Finally, if I give blood in the future, will I pass out again?
