I'm so scared of needles! ?

Question

My doctor wants me to get a blood test to check if I'm anemic. I really don't want one, because I generally faint at the site of needles or I'll run out of the room. I sometimes, shake uncontrolaby. What if i don't get the blood test and I'm actually anemic and it doesn't get treated? What will happen?

Answer 1

Hey!

okay listen, i was exactly like you a year ago. i wz terrified!

but trust me...trust me... IT DOESNT HURT!

when iam really scared what i do is just not move, close my eyes , and take deep breathes. it really helps! i didnt feel a thing and i was sooo proud! :D its just like someone poking you for like 10 seconds. it dznt hurt! :)

gd luck and if i wer u i would do it because u can never know what else you found out about ur blood.

Close your eyes and tell your doctor that you want a nurse to take your blood ... nurses do it much more often than doctors and are much gentler ... you should just feel a prick in your arm and boom , it's over. Anemia can become serious . lack of sleep , tiredness , no energy ... even anemic coma can occur if untreated .

    If it's just your diet , you'll take iron pills for awhile ...

Answer 3

u'll just have to get a close family member or friend to hold your hand. and close your eyes.

Answer 4

You have great answers over there i have only one question for you. Will that fear last for ever or get over you? Be brave and you must believe you are a child no more. I used to hate them so so much and cried a lot before i took them when i was 6! They used to tell me u didn't take it yet, and then i didn't feel much pain that did not worth my tears!

Its for your good, just do it or may something serious happen if u didn't. Good luck and tell me your news okay? God bless.

Answer 5

have a friend take you or someone then blindfold yourself once youre in the room

try eating a banana about 1 hour before it helps if your nervous and it relaxes the nerves (i do it all the time with recitals)

or pinch your thumb which also works

Answer 6

I totally agree with Hi

just relax it'll be over in like 10 sec

If your tense it won't help

just think if u dont get it you'll keep worrying abount things you shouldn't worry about.

It'll make life a lot easier
