Tips To Help To Replenish Blood After Minor Blood Loss
5 Answers
over the last week or so i have been having rather a lot of nose bleeds, it bleeds for quite a while at quite a fast pace and takes a wee while to stop.
(this is just down to a varicose vein in my nose that can bleed at the slightest thing - even just turning my head too fast, so nothing majorly serious - though i know if it doesn't settle down i will have to get it cauterised - again - this also happened 20 years ago)
however, now i am starting to feel a bit weak, and kind of shaky and unwell - not collapse level, but just not quite right.
I have been refused to donate blood in the past due to anaemia, and have had to be prescribed tablets too.
my question is, will the blood loss sort of replenish itself in a few days?
or have i now possibly got mild anaemia and need to see the doc?
or is this just normal and ill be fine in a few days?
is there anything i can do to speed up the process of replacing the lost blood?
the vein in my nose has bled on an off for years and usually settles down again, though this time has been much more than usual.
i have an appointment at the docs already on the 4th so i can mention it then, but is there anything i can do to help myself in the meantime, to put back what has been lost?
thanks

Don't forget! I had a series of very heavy nosebleeds in my teens. The cause was a streptococcal infection of my nasal lining, so that might be your problem too. (A 'normal' nose bleed,resulting from your varicoe vein, might have allowed the infection to get in).
When people donate blood they sometimes feel light-headed afterwards. The reason isn't insufficient haemoglobin taking oxygen to their brain (because a healthy person has got lots to spare anyway) but low blood pressure meaning that it's not being effectively delivered. The solution is to drink lots of fluids. (So keep your fluid intake up).

However a normal healthy diet should probably suffice and the things mentioned there aren't related to a feeling of light-headedness.
