Fainting during a blood donation can happen to anyone, but it’s most common when people donate for the first time. To help prevent fainting, cross your legs during a blood donation! Applied Muscle Tension (AMT) is a series of simple exercises that help improve blood flow, so your chance of experiencing side effects like fainting stays low. Studies show that AMT may even prevent a faint reaction altogether.
