Sarah4444 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I had bad symptom flares this week and last, and each time, the day before I had had blood drawn for lab tests. I can't tell if it's a coincidence or not. Has anyone noticed an association like this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallysblooms Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Everyone is different of course. I have quite a few blood tests and it has not happened. It is stressful, and stress can surely cause symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovebug Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I had blood drawn on Wednesday, a Nuclear Stress Test on Thursday, and been suffering since Friday (with periods of normalcy in between). I have a post somewhere on this page about it. But let me tell you, I've been miserable, heart is going crazy, BP going nuts, anxiety galore (due the heart & BP issues). I'm sure getting blood drawn affects our blood volume significantly even though it's only a small amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
