Less lethargy after blood donations?

[mindgame1516]

Does anyone experience feeling better and less lethargy after blood letting or donating when HCT is 54+

I never had my ferritin checked only HCT so I don’t know if that was high or if that can add to lethargy I was feeling.

Ok so I’m just bugging out. What was your HCT running at? Is it the HCT or ferritin that causes that fatigue that just lingers
