what is blood group - #22174
I am really confused about this whole blood group thing. My doctor just told me I need to know what is blood group for some tests they want to run. Like, I thought it was just a simple thing, but I keep hearing about different types and everything. My friend told me she's O-positive and it means something about universal donors or something? I honestly don't know what that means. I mean, I always thought a blood group was just like a label, right? But now I'm worried, coz I thought my blood status was fine until this new test. Could my blood group affect other health issues? My mom has blood clotting problems, and I wonder if what is blood group has anything to do with that. Should I be concerned about any family history in regards to blood? Like, if I find out my blood group is rare or something, does that mean I'm at a higher risk? I'm kinda feeling overwhelmed and really don’t know where to start with all this. I've never thought seriously about what my blood group is but I guess I should do some research or maybe even talk to a specialist?
