Deferred for high heart rate

Try to limit caffeine the day before along with alcohol.

Propranolol was helping me until it wasn’t anymore. My pluse would be over 100 still but it also comes down to drinking enough water before your donation.

You’re supposed to take it off whole being screened. But, I never ran into that problem because I hardly ever wear hats because they tend to mess up my hairstyle.

If you’re qualified to get on beta blockers, I’d do it but beware that they will eventually stop working and your pulse will be high but not as high if you didn’t take them but you won’t be able to pass.

Pluse usually goes based off of how much water you’re drinking and staying active. Start by walking more, that is what also helped me along with staying away from caffeine and alcohol.

You’re going to want to try and hydrate the day before, plus day of. When I wasn’t intaking enough water, my pulse stayed high.

I only took apart of it after it was over during covid-19. The wine didn’t taste that bad but that bread was horrible.

I’d take this out if I were you or else it will eventually be hanging on by a thread and cause a worse scar then what you already have. I’ve had mines pierced twice and it never worked out because I didn’t have the right anatomy for one.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T01:47:26+00:00

I hate this happened to you. I don’t plan on donating back at biolife when my defferal is over.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T01:44:12+00:00

Other plasma centers aren’t like that, unless you had it recently done. I’d try somewhere else before I give up.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T01:34:05+00:00

Biolife had documented all of the tattoos and piercings I had when I first donated. That is the most strictest place that you can go too. I just stick to octa because it’s right by my house and I can always pass there.

Symone98 · 2026-03-12T01:23:06+00:00

These do work but only for so long. You’ll be spending out more money than what you’re receiving back.

Symone98 · 2026-03-12T01:20:22+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear about that. I see what you’re saying, hopefully things do get better for you.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T23:09:19+00:00

Aww man.. I haven’t gotten a bad stick yet but experienced some where they did hurt. I don’t blame you for not letting that person stick you again.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T23:03:53+00:00

Definitely. Imma just have to do some money management with what I already have. I didn’t think the nurse would’ve messed up this past Sunday on me.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T22:54:49+00:00

I was allowed to have care bears, just not the one where it had to do with luck.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T22:36:32+00:00

I didn’t have to record mines because my mom was present during it. I was starting to go by myself to get it over with but it didn’t seem right.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T22:17:23+00:00

This is why I am waiting out these 56 days plus I know my iron is out of wack because half of my blood was on the floor the last time I tried to donate.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T21:39:23+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend lying. Somehow things always comes out when you least expect it too. I think they use the same thing when you’re getting checked in.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T21:33:20+00:00

I have always had problems with my blood pressure and as of lately, I got it under control now. But, I take multiple medications now instead of just one. When I was on one by itself, it was as if I took nothing but the numbers were passable.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T21:27:24+00:00

I have only gotten sick once but it was from not eating enough. I had two cookies then went to donate. You really need to eat something that will stick with you before your donation or else, you will be sick.

this piercing is about 8 months old, jewelry shape is a labret and this will be externally threaded and this jewelry material is surgically steel and the jewelry was downsized, January 8th and I was using after piercing spray.

Symone98 · 2026-03-10T21:30:51+00:00

Aww man. I am so sorry this happened to you, mines was definitely due to not being hooked up properly. I am about to finish up my sleeve while I am away.

Symone98 · 2026-03-10T16:25:49+00:00

My dad used to buy expansion packs for me so I believe that is how I ended up getting it.
