Simple vocal tics consist of sounds that do not form words, such as: throat clearing, grunting, coughing, and sniffing. The DSM-IV divide tic disorders in three main categories: transient tic disorders, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder and Tourette disorder.
If you are healthy person who has been exercising regularly, after you donated blood, you wonder whether you can exercise right after that. The answer is no. You should only exercise after at least 5 hours of resting. Do not run, swim, do weight training or other rough movements during the first 5 hours of donation. In fact, even after that period, your competitive performance in the court or track may be affected.
Q: How long will it take before my body restores all the blood cells given during the whole blood donation? A: Red cells last for approximately 120 days; however, your body has many reserve red cells and also has the ability to make more red cells when it needs to. Generally speaking, in about four to six weeks, your body should replace all the red cells that you give during a whole blood donation.
