Is Dizziness After A Blood Test Normal?
The past 10 days or so I ve felt kinda dizzy and weak, I ve also had trouble sleeping. The condition is not made better or worse by standing, sitting, or laying down. Today I had my blood checked (I was guessing low blood sugar) all was well, except high uric acid (over 11!). Could that cause dizziness? I have no other symptoms.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
If blood was taken for testing glucose and other details like uric acid, then the quantity taken out is little hardly 2 to 5 ml. That should not cause any discomfort except may be the prick pain. So that is unlikely to lead to the dizziness being complained. Some times certain unexplainable symptoms do occur. Was the BP normal? Because either sudden rise or very low BP can also lead to dizziness. Thanks.
