Can people with low blood pressure donate blood?

Patient's question:

I recently saw someone donate blood for free, and I also wanted to donate blood for free. Hello, can people with low blood pressure donate blood for free?

Doctor's answer:

People with low blood pressure are not eligible to donate blood for free. Donating blood for free can easily exacerbate symptoms of low blood pressure, causing dizziness, headaches, and insufficient blood supply to the brain. Therefore, it is essential to avoid donating blood for free for now. Instead, focus on enhancing nutrition, balancing a diet with both meat and vegetables, and consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat foods rich in protein and iron. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a related check-up, including a blood test, to see if there is anemia. If the blood pressure is too low, you can take Shengmai Yin orally to see if it helps.
