Donated Plasma, Swollen Arms. Will I Have A Clot In Arm?

I donated plasma today for the first time and it took a total of 78mins and the lady had to keep taking these things that kind of looked like scissors to pull down the tube that my blood was going through to make sure my blood wasn't getting clogged in the tube. Well my problem nowvis that my arm looks really swollen what should I do I'm worried that I may have a clot or something in my arm.
