Patient's question:
Doctor. I'm only 40 years old this year, but I have high blood pressure. It is said that donating blood without payment is good for health, and it can also help others. I want to donate blood without payment. Later, it was said that those taking medicine cannot donate. Can I donate if I don't take blood pressure medication! Hello, can patients with high blood pressure donate blood without payment?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, you can donate blood for free, and it will not affect your blood pressure or your health. If you cannot donate blood for free, it is mainly because: first, your weight is too low; second, you have anemia; and third, it may be some other infectious diseases. Generally, high blood pressure and diabetes are conditions that allow for free blood donation. Currently, you are still taking oral antihypertensive drugs. After donating blood, eat something to avoid low blood sugar.
