What to do after Calcium blood test?
If bleeding occurs after your Calcium test, raise your arm and apply pressure to the spot for at least 3 minutes. It’s normal to see some bruising after a Calcium blood draw. If you feel pain following the Calcium test, apply ice wrapped in a towel to the area for 10 minutes. For anything more than mild discomfort, contact your doctor.
