Hey fellas,
I went a week ago to donate a pint of blood. I figured getting rid of some RBC's would be a good idea since my fathers blood thickens somewhat when on cycle. While filling out the paperwork I saw the parameters on your health for them to accept your blood. One of them was a resting pulse of 50-100 bpm. When they took my pulse..... it was 98. The lady said to me "Are you nervous? I really hope so because a resting pulse of 98 isn't good if it's like that all the time."
Now..... I was nervous because i've heard horror stories about these donation centers and their lack of being able to give a needle (tho my veins were ripped out without a tourniqet ahaha) - I also know tho that my resting pulse is usually over 80bpm. When I do cardio.... it goes up to 160bpm.
WTF is my problem? Idunno if I should goto the doc and get medication to slow my heart down a little or not.....
