Normally, they don't take enough blood to physically make these symptoms. Not unless they were taking blood for a certain medical condition where they actually have to decrease your blood volume. When they take vials, it's usually 15 ml give or take a few. When you donate blood you donate 300 ml, so you can see the difference. 'I don't know why your arm would be shaking, we take blood all the time in the hospital, sometimes every 2 hours and I've never seen that response, even on the sickest patients in ICU. So, I don't think your symptoms are connected with the blood draw.

I wouldn't stake my life on this, but is sounds like a vagal response. Do you normally have this kind of response to having your blood taken?
