Well, I have had several of them in the past year. I get a little itchy & run a low grade fever so I have to take a benedryl & tylenol other than that, feels like getting a regular IV. I am usually so sick that I am tired anyhow.

I have had a few blood transfusions and I generally feel weak and tired because of a low blood count. But shortly after-wards I start to fell a little stronger. The transfusion itself feels a little strange. Sometimes the IV tube kinks up and that hurts a little but the nurses know how to fix that.

Most people feel no different at all during their
transfusion.
Some people develop a slight fever, chills or a rash
usually due to a mild immune reaction or allergy that
is easily treated by, for example, giving paracetamol
(Panadol) or giving the transfusion more slowly. The
nurses looking after you will check your transfusion
regularly and ask you to tell them how you feel. Do
tell the nurse immediately if you feel unwell.

Probably a little tired, but that is because having a low blood count (the reason for getting a transfussion) makes you weak and tired. Within a few hours you should feel better and more like your normal self.
