@ashleyharris728, I have fainted multiple times, even gone into shock from multiple injections (apparently 2 is my limit), and thrown up from shock. I’m 64 and remember the first time I fainted when I was 11, and that was just from seeing the needle for getting my ears pierced. (Albeit that woman kept showing it to me and telling me that she was going to stick it thru my ear lobe.)
If there is a way not to become anxious, I’d love to know. My heart races, my blood pressure goes up, and I feel faint just thinking about having the injection. Then I “jerk” when the needle is inserted, vaccine or blood withdraw, sometimes becoming dizzy and faint when it does happen.
