Visit Your Local Emergency Room If Bleeding Has Not Stopped And Continues; 1 paint of blood Should Not Be That Bad

Asprin makes your blood thin. This protects you from hemmorrhage.

However, this put you into a category such as Hemophelia, where there are thrombocytes, which allows for blood to clot. This is not good, because you will bleed, bleed, and bleed, untill you go into hypovolemic shock and then into exsanguination.

If you ahve experienced 30 minutes of blood loss, chance are you have already experienced one or two of the symptoms of low blood pressure (hypotension) or shock. Shock is defined as a state in 2hich there is widespriad, serious reduction of tissue perfusion which, if prolonged, leads to generalezed im[airment of cellular function.

When experiencing this, you will go into 3 diffrent stages - depending on the stages; 1) asymptomatic (where the patient experiences no symptoms 2) the cardiac output falls below normal 3) life-threatening reduction in cardiac output and tissue perfusion. General supportive measure must be undertaken immediately.

1 paint isn't that bad, if you can donate 1 paint of blood within a 8 weeks time, and have no no acute or long-term consequences. However, if you can not determine how much blood you may have lost, you should allow medical personel to to determine its severity.

Hope this answers you question!
