Poor Circulation or Fragile Veins: Why Swelling May Occur After a Blood Draw
At Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy, we understand that individuals with delicate veins—such as elderly patients or those with clotting disorders—may experience more swelling after a blood draw. This can be due to slower blood clotting or weaker vein walls, leading to increased sensitivity at the puncture site.
How to Reduce Swelling
✔️ Apply gentle pressure after the blood draw
✔️ Keep your arm elevated if swelling occurs
✔️ Stay hydrated to support circulation
If swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare provider.
