Eyes Black Out, Fainting, Numb Hands And Tongue After Drawing Out Blood. Anything To Worry?
Hi I just had blood drawn about an hour ago. While she was drawing the blood my eyes blacked out and I almost fainted. When she took the band off my arm I slowly felt better but threw up afterwards. Im now sitting at home and my left arm and hand feel numb... along with my tongue now... the needle didn't hurt at all. Should I be worried?
