    DOes anyone else suffer with this?

    At the minute I ave to have my blood tested weekly due to my addiction to laxatives......now in the past I have given blood, and blood tests have never bothered me....but since i became ill back in February I have found that the sound of the blood going into the little container, used for sending to be tested, makes me feel nauseaus and I have passed out twice due to this......

    Is this linked to the anxiety of being in the Drs surgery do you think?

    It does sound like anxiety
    AS you have these tests regularly and probably know the nurse who takes your blood - They know your anxiety -soooo I would take a "music" player and listen to music while they take your blood. I am sure they would rather you did this than have you suffer the trauma of passing out.

    I talk constantly to the nurse taking the blood and never look at it and I too have regular blood tests.

    You get used to it in time but keep talking and it will distract you.
