I just had blood drawn 2 hours ago...is it normal to have a headache and feel tired? Am I allowed to take a pain reliver like tylenol for my headache or should I wait a few more hours?

Tylenol = okay.
Avoid aspirin to be on the safe side. Aspirin is a blood thinner.
Drink lots of water. I get a headache when I'm slightly dehydrated.

Depending on how much blood you had drawn, it would not be out of the ordinary to feel weak and have a headache afterwards. Eat a little snack and make sure to drink plenty of liquids.
I would think Tylenol would be ok to take. If you're really worried, call whoever took your blood and ask them.
Be sure to take it easy until you feel better.
