Make sure that you have eaten well before you donate. The most common causes of nausea in people who donate blood is either attributed to the actual sight of the blood or the pain associated with being stuck. It is possible that an automatic response to the pain you experience while being stuck is a triggered nausea response. As well, your nerves might play a role in your vomiting. If this is too uncomfortable for you, then don't give blood.

I think it might be psychological... But it could be that your donating too much blood and you didn't eat enough before donating, but I'm not 100% sure as I don't know much about this topic... Seeing your doctor won't be a bad idea, even if it turns out to be psychological, its better to know than wonder!

It is just something you cannot control. If you get kindof woosy too I am the same way. It is just your body's reaction to the needle and the blood.

Fear of needles? Squeamish of blood? Low blood pressure?
