Advice: Getting hydrated in advance and warming up your arms can help you prepare for a blood draw.

Make sure you aren’t holding your breath. Instead, take deep breaths rising from your stomach, rather than your chest. If that’s not for you, try distracting yourself by scrolling through TikTok or chatting with the technician. Some people deliberately pinch the opposite side of the body to distract their brains while the needle goes in, but if this will only stress you out further, I wouldn’t advise it.

: When struck by a predator, fainting can make you appear dead, shielding you from further attack. And if you sustain an injury from a sharp object, a drop in blood pressure and heart rate might mitigate the blood loss. My own theory is that fainting is self-protective against pain. If you’ve been mortally wounded, losing consciousness would make those last moments less distressing.
