I'm use to them since I have blood tests every 3-6 months a year and I don't think it hurts at all it feels like a cat scratch:wavey: which is nothing

I was the same until I had an incident compounded by incompetent staff. I had to give a lot but I'm guessing my BP was too low because I almost went into shock. I wasn't particularly nervous. I just got very hot and it felt like my internals were frying and like I was struggling and I just started panting?? The guy actually left the room I guess because he had an oh **** moment but husband went into work medic mode and helped me get breathing again. Freaked him out because it's he deals with at work dealing with some of the addicts who come into his unit to dry out/"recover"
I changed labs and I'm going to one that is much better staffed now and I haven't had a problem since. Though I'm prone to lowish BP so maybe I need to get a wrist monitor for the car to check before getting drawn. I'm more anxious now than I used to because of it but last time I went though went perfect, I wasn't stressed at all.
Otherwise I've never liked needles, but I've learned to deal with them.
