Hydrate yourself. To prepare your body for the loss of blood, you need to drink plenty of water or fruit juice the night and morning before you donate. The leading cause of faintness and dizziness when you give blood is a drop in blood pressure or blood sugar.
There are weight limits but only between certain ages. You have to be at least 17 years old and 110 pounds to donate blood â but if you are between 17 and 23, the weight restriction does not apply, and eligibility depends on both weight and height.
