What Causes Difficulty In Finding The Vein For Blood Withdrawal?
I was recently participating in a school blood drive and when it came time to me giving (trying) to give blood, the nurses couldn t find anything. I had drank maybe 3-4 water bottles throughout the day and ate a pretty good breakfast. Anyways, the nurse couldn t find any veins in both of my arms. I ve given my blood before without much of a problem maybe 2 years before, so what might be the issue?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience of difficulty in finding a vein for blood donation I strongly believe it is due to vasoconstriction caused by the following
Severe cold
Fever
Hypotension
Hypovolemia
Hemorrhage
Shock
Severe trauma
In view of this please take the following regularly
Hematinics
Multivitamin
Exercise regularly
I hope this helps Regards
