Patient's question:
Originally, Dad was going to donate blood for free today, but he cannot donate blood for free because of high blood pressure. Why can't high blood pressure donate blood for free?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, you should actively control your blood pressure. Lowering your blood pressure to a normal level should allow you to donate blood for free. If your blood pressure is already unstable, donating blood could potentially cause significant fluctuations in your blood pressure, leading to a recurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This would be counterproductive. Therefore, when donating blood, organizations will certainly provide certain recommendations to prevent any potential accidents.
