Will Sinus Bradycardia Symptoms Worsen On Blood Donation?
i have sinus brady cardia. i get light headed. if i decide to donate a pint of blood, will symptoms get worse until my body replaces all of the donated blood? i get light headed because my heart rate is lower than normal and doesn't pump enough blood. but if i donate, will it cause that to get worse?

Hi,
If you are lightheaded or having bradycardia. It is not advisable to donate blood as it will worsen the symptoms.
Blood donation can cause further fall in blood pressure and you may feel more dizzy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
