I got a routine blood test. Usually I don't bleed at all after they put the cotton call on my arm, but today it was bleeding. Then more than two hours later at home, I took the cotton ball off and it was still bleeding! I put the cotton ball back on. I don't know if it is still bleeding.
Now I'm thinking something is wrong with my liver and I must have some kind of clotting disorder.
How long can I bleed and still have it considered normal?

OK, nevermind, it stopped bleeding. It was never gushing or anything, just slowly forming a bead of blood.
Sorry about that. I freak out a lot, it's my anxiety.

deneb baby listen, when i was a blood donor, before i had a body full of meds an unable to donate anymore , you some times got what you call a bleeder, which means. after your donation of blood , they put a cotton ball on your arm to stem the blood an say lay down for a time so not to get dizzy,a bleeder is when the blood still carries on flowing after your donation,as the suction needle is quite large.you can an i have lost another large amout before the blood stops, so your little neddle hole is nothing to worry about , its like a scratch, take care.

Deneb the exact same thing happened to me the last time I had thyroid checked never bleed usually don't even need a cottonball and this time wouldn't stop bleeding and like you still wonder why? Do I have a blood disease. Guess it is the anxiety wish I could let things go. Phillipa
