Blood Not Flowing During Donation. Is It Due To Thick Blood?
i was donating blood today and the machine keep on beeping they kept on adjusting the needle that they inserted in me. They managed to remove some blood into the sack but then noticed that the machine kept on beeping and my blood was not flowing. They then stop machine and removed the needle. It was the first time could it be that my blood was to thick to flow or what? Pleas explain thanks.

Hi
It seems that your blood has been clotting sooner then it should be. It can also be due to increased RBCs. A detailed hemogram can show the cause.
