  1. How to prepare well for a Blood Test Telephone: +91-8130415737 Email: lifelinelab@lifelinelaboratory.com Tests for lipid and glucose require fasting. This means no eating and drinking (besides water) as a minimum for 10-14 hours before having your blood drawn. It’s imperative to confirm with your physician beforehand if you need to fast. Remain Hydrated :- Make sure you are well hydrated. Drink plenty of fluid. This will keep faintness at bay and also kind it easier to find the moods for the blood sample. Activities to Avoid :- Refrain from strenuous physical exercise, smoking, and intake of caffeinated drinks before a blood draw. It can sometimes skew the test results. Eat Breakfast : - Unless specified, eat breakfast or a light snack. This will prevent you from feeling nauseous or lightheaded before blood removal. Inform Technician of Medication:- Don’t discontinue regular health Checkup, unless advised otherwise. If you are taking blood-thinners or seizure medication, inform the technician before the blood test. After the procedure is completed he will observe the puncture site, to make sure the bleeding has stopped. Relax:- It’s important to relax when the phlebotomist draws your blood. Don’t wiggle and fidget, as it may lead to more than one prick. If you’re nervous or anxious, avert your eyes and focus on breathing to distract your mind. Best Pathology Lab in Delhi :- Though most of us are squeamish about getting blood drawn, the process if handled by a proficient phlebotomist is short, simple and painless. Before you know it, the needle is out and the gauze plastered on the puncture site to stop bleeding. Once you’re complete with the blood test, head to café for a fit breakfast and get on with your day. Just remember to follow the phlebotomist’s instructions and not yank the bandage too soon. It might result in bruising. Browse Health Package · Schedule PickUp · Book Diagnostic Tests · Search Prescribed tests For More Information www.lifelinelaboratory.com
