FAQ
Can I eat and drink before having a blood test?
It depends on the type of blood test you’re having. The healthcare professional arranging your test will tell you if you need to do anything to prepare for it.
You can eat and drink as normal before some blood tests. But if you’re having a “fasting blood test”, you will be told not to eat or drink anything (other than water) beforehand. You may also be told not to smoke before your test.
Can I have coffee before a blood test?
Avoid Caffeine and Sugary Beverages
You can drink water before the blood test, so you don’t get dehydrated. However, avoid drinking beverages that contain caffeine and sugar as they’ll cause your blood pressure to rise. High blood pressure would make it unsafe to get blood drawn for the test.
What should you avoid after a blood test?
Limit the use of the arm (from which the blood was taken) for approximately 3–6 hours. This includes carrying heavy parcels or bags, gym work, gardening etc. Try to avoid restrictive or tight clothing on the arm.
Is an Appointment Necessary for a blood test?
No, you can just walk in, if you come before 11 AM to have your blood test done. Otherwise you will have to book an appointment.
When will I get my test results?
