The amount of blood in a person’s body depends on how big he or she is, and surprisingly enough, on where that person lives.
For example, if you weigh about 80 pounds, you have about 2.5 quarts of blood in your body, while your 160-pound father has about five quarts, or twice as much. When you were an infant, perhaps about one month old, you had only about ten ounces of blood in your body.
If you live in high mountain areas where there is less oxygen in the air, you might have up to two more quarts of blood in your body. This additional blood is necessary to capture the extra oxygen your body needs to work and grow at greater altitudes.
I had a blood test and they pumped out gallon of my blood…
What would happen if you had too much blood in your body?
Then you would have high blood pressure and get nose bleeds to release pressure.
So today I went to the doctor. She is one of the best doctors too. She said something about me having 9.9 something blood left and I’m short on blood. What should I do?
Kaitlyn,
If your doctor is so good, why don’t you ask her what to do, instead of a bunch of randoms on the internet?
My answer: When My blood gets low, My “low blood” warning light comes on and then I go fill up.
