Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear there is no much relation between blood donation with constipation and stomach pain.
Usually after donation you feeling little dizziness and weakness. So you have to take rest (lie down)
Take plenty of liquids.
And use laxatives for constipation, take high fiber diet. Just check your symptoms may be due to gastritis or acute gastroenteritis.
If your feelings flu like symptoms inform to center which you donated blood.
Please consult your doctor if symptoms not improved.
