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.
You can donate with low blood pressure. Can I donate if I have low Hemoglobin (Hb) or anemia? Female donors must have a hemoglobin level of at least 12.5g/dL and male donors are required to have a minimum level of 13.0g/dL. The deferral is 30 days for both whole blood and apheresis donations.
