What disqualify you from donating blood

It's always a good time to make a much-needed blood donation - yet not everyone can do so. Below are five reasons you may not be allowed to give blood. Only one in 30 people regularly gives blood, and those who do can be considered medical heroes behind the scenes, helping to keep people alive. It only takes 20 minutes to help someone in urgent

need, but not everyone is actually eligible to be a blood donor. Red blood cells, plasma, and platelets are the lifeline for medical treatments needed by patients all across the country, and keeping up the supply is an ongoing struggle. Almost 40,000 blood donations are needed each day for all sorts of conditions and procedures: Everything from cancer,

sickle cell disease, and anemia, to complications of pregnancy, trauma, and surgeries. Blood donations are also used to make immunizations for chickenpox, hepatitis B, and tetanus, as well as clotting factor products for hemophiliacs. While the American Red Cross and other organizations appreciate all who volunteer to be a donor, there are a

number of reasons why some individuals may not be permitted to give blood. Here are the top five: 1. You have a recent piercing or tattoo. If you¡¯ve recently had a tattoo, piercing, semi-permanent make-up ¨Cany treatment that pierces the skin -- you will need to wait at least four months before being eligible to donate. The primary reason is to prevent

transferring the hepatitis virus. Cosmetic tattoos applied in a licensed establishment in a regulated state using sterile needles and ink that is not reused are acceptable. 2. You have a bad cold or the flu. If you have a fever or a productive cough, or generally feel unwell on the day of donation, you should wait and come back when you feel better. The

Red Cross follows this policy as a precaution to prevent the spread of flu during blood drives.? 3. You were recently treated with antibiotics. Those who have completed a course of antibiotics within the last seven days, or have had any type of infection within the last two weeks, are not allowed to give blood. This is because some infections are

transmissible in blood. A donor with an acute bacterial infection should not donate, so the reasons why you¡¯re taking antibiotics must be evaluated as well. ? 4. You don¡¯t weigh enough. Donors need to weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health. Donors under the age of 18 also have to meet specific weight and height requirements.

Donors under the age of 18 also have to meet specific weight and height requirements. If you are underweight (or have low iron in your blood) you may faint or become dangerously weakened after they take your blood.? 5. You have a new sexual partner. Gay men who have had anal or oral sex with another man must wait 12 months before giving

blood. Females whose male partners have slept with other men are ineligible for 12 months as well. Donors of any gender who have slept with a sex worker are also required to wait 12 months before they can give blood. While federal guidelines have been revised in recent years, the waiting period is felt to reduce the risk of human immunodeficiency

virus transmission. Other reasons you may not be able to donate blood: You¡¯ve experienced hepatitis or jaundice in the last year You¡¯ve had certain types of cancer, or are being treated for cancer. Blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease disqualify you from donating, to protect both donor and recipient. A member of your

family has Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease You¡¯ve been taking certain acne medications, such as antibiotics You¡¯ve had certain immunizations You¡¯ve previously received blood transfusions during a medical procedure You¡¯ve been in a relationship with a drug user (injected) If you have questions about any of these conditions and donating blood, be sure to

consult your doctor.

Blood donation appointments can be made by applying at or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Blood donors need to

be 17 or older and must have a blood donor card or driver¡¯s license, or two other forms of identification. To save time at check-in, donors can fill out the necessary forms at RapidPass and follow the instructions on the website.

care professional's instructions. CC0 Rawpixel/Pixabay According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) there are approximately 75 million American adults (32%) who have high blood pressure. However, only half of those actually have the condition under control. In 2014, high blood pressure was either the primary or contributing cause of death in

over 410,000 Americans. But what exactly creates high blood pressure? The level of blood pressure depends on the amount of blood that is being pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance of blood flow to the arteries. The narrower the arteries, combined with a high level of blood flow, will result in a higher blood pressure. Here is an

overview on how to read blood pressure numbers, the cause and symptoms associated with abnormal levels and the treatments and preventative steps that should be started if this currently is or could potentially be an issue. Age Range Blood pressure is something that should be regularly looked at during your check-ups with your healthcare

provider. Those that are 40 or older or are aged 18-39 and have a high risk of high blood pressure, should have this checked more often. If you don¡¯t have a regular doctor whom you meet with annually, visit one of the local pharmacies where they may have a machine that allows you to check your blood pressure for free. Health resource fairs are also

another option of where you can get free blood pressure screenings. But once you have your blood pressure numbers, you need to understand what they mean.. Blood Pressure ReadingsThere are four main categories that people¡¯s blood pressure will fall into. The first is the normal category which is ideal. The top (systolic) number represents the

amount of force that is exerted as the heart contracts and pumps blood. The bottom (diastolic) number is the amount of force exerted in between the contractions. If the numbers are around 120/80mm Hg, this would be a good blood pressure reading. The second category is elevated blood pressure when the systolic number is between 120-129 and

diastolic number is 80mm Hg. Then there is the stage 1 high blood pressure (hypertension) which is a systolic number between 130-139mm Hg and diastolic number between 80-89mm Hg. And lastly, the stage two high blood pressure (hypertension) with systolic numbers of 140mm Hg or higher and diastolic numbers 90 or higher. Having said that,

there are instances when the blood pressure can actually be too low and can lead to dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, fatigue and nausea. Blood pressure levels that are 90mm Hg systolic or 60mm Hg diastolic are considered low blood pressure. The seriousness of this though can range from just being dehydrated to needing serious medical

attention. CausesThere are many factors that can play a role in causing high blood pressure in individuals. Some factors include obesity, lack of exercise, excess drinking or tobacco use or family genes. Those that intake too much sodium (salt) and not enough Potassium and Vitamin D are also increasing their risk of high blood pressure. And of

course, there are factors such as age, race and stress levels that play an important role in one¡¯s blood pressure. Unfortunately though, there are many that have hypertension but do not realize it as it has developed over many years and by the time the symptoms appear, it is often too late. Symptoms While there are a few signs that can be associated

with high blood pressure, they are rarely ever solely caused by it. These symptoms could be facial flushing when blood vessels in the face are dilated, which can be caused by stress, exposure to heat or hot water or due to consuming too much alcohol. Another sign may be headaches, nosebleeds or dizziness, but again there may be other factors

playing a role such as side effects from blood pressure medication or due to another health issues such as diabetes. Because there aren¡¯t any clear signs, high blood pressure is also known as a ¡°silent killer¡±. But by having regular check-ups with a healthcare provider, they should be able to identify any damage done to the blood vessels or heart. If it

goes undetected though, it can lead to heart issues such as a heart attack or stroke. Treatment Learning how to treat low and high blood pressure is extremely important. They are both done by adopting a healthy lifestyle that consists of a balanced diet that is low in salt complimented with regular exercise. It is also recommended to work closely with

your doctor who can also show you how to regularly monitor your blood pressure at home. While there is no cure for high blood pressure, these steps will greatly contribute to the quality of life and reduce the potential for future heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. Some healthcare providers will also prescribe high blood pressure medication.

There are some who claim that certain herbs help reduce blood pressure but it is highly recommended to consult with your doctor first as some herbs can have strong side effects if taken in too high of a quantity. Currently, there are no high blood pressure specialists that regularly recommend taking herbs to lower your blood pressure. MORE FROM
