One day I went for a blood test. After taking blood I went faint for some time and after 4 secs I become conscious. This happens whenever I do a blood test. Is it because I am very sensitive to watching blood or is it normal. I mean to say everyone faces this problem.

Only some persons are sensitive on seeing blood You should keep your eyes closed when giving blood sample and do not see blood.

Hello, This is very common for those who cannot tolerate sight of blood. Mostly seen in non-medico people. It is due to anxiety. Most of the people have this issue and you should not worry about it. You can try some tips for next time. 1) Avoid watching the procedure of blood withdrawal. 2) Make sure you have something to eat with you like a chocolate bar or biscuit pack and have it immediately after blood is withdrawn.
