Hello doctor,
Can a person suffering from high blood pressure donate blood?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.I respect your concern on blood donation.
- Definitely yes. A person who is suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure) can donate blood; provided his blood pressure is normal at the time of blood donation and he must not be suffering from other associated untreated comorbidities.
- In short, donor must be on regular medication and having good blood pressure control.
- Those who have fluctuating blood pressure with irregular treatment and those who are suffering from other illnesses associated with hypertension better not to donate.
For further clarifications consult a cardiologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/cardiologist
