@americanredcross: A drop in blood pressure and heart rate is what causes you to feel dizzy, lightheaded or nauseous. Doing this exercise will increase your blood pressure to a normal level, making it less likely that you'll faint. This goes for blood donation, too — if you think you're about to pass out, cross your legs and give these steps a try. #TikTokTaughtMe #LearnOnTikTok #HowTo #Fainting #PassingOut #BloodDrive #BloodDonation
Now what if you’re standing up when you lose blood pressure?

Having POTS I don’t get enough of a warning to do this I stand and then I hit the ground. Is there something I can do before I stand?

To celebrate 30 years of @Friends, we're giving two pairs of custom FRIENDS + Red Cross socks when you give blood or platelets through Dec. 8, while they last!
