I need to give blood Saturday morning. RBC is at the high end (5.57), but my Hematorit is high at 52.6%. And my BP is too high for them to take me. This morning when I woke up it was 138/99. Generally I'm at my lowest first thing AM. They would take 138/99 (second number needs to be under 100). But that is cutting really close and I may get turned around.
I'm VERY hydrated.
I was thinking of taking 5000mg of L-Arganine before going in hoping it will get my BP down far enough.
Anyone have any other ideas? And it will need to be something I can get a hold of/do before Saturday.
Thanks
