Gonna get a blood test done for the first time in my life and

In regards to the whole thyroid and heart issues, I don't think heart issues would appear on the blood test unless they are doing a cardiac cell lysis test and that's really only for heart attacks, thyroid yes but isn't it good to get it identified.
Collapsed veins, well I've never had one, but I've had blood vessels pop and it's only slightly painful. My father was a heroin addict, and when he got his wisdom teeth out the nurses collapsed quite a few of his already weak veins. He said it sucked but obviously something not worth a story in a old man's book of tales. You'll be good anon.

Well my doctor said I need a blood test to check my thyroid. Not sure what it is exactly, but he said that this will make it easier to get a full diagnosis and a dosage of medicine if needed, rather then going in half blind.

I guess I'll just need to breath and get it over with. I mean even if a vein collapses it just ends up being a bruise, right? I keep getting this weird fear that my heart will stop or something if that happens.

lol a blood test is nothing but a tiny prick and it's completely harmless, you won't get a collapsed vein don't worry about it

>I kept reading all the horrible stories of people having collapsed veins that hurt alot and they faint.
>How do I get over this fear?
You can start by not reading those stories. You are focusing on something that is extremely unlikely to happen. Imagine if someone told you they refused to leave their house because they were afraid of being struck by lightning outside - what would you think?

you're more likely to get infected with AIDS by the lab worker who forgets to grab a new needle and sticks you with the one they used on the guy before you who has AIDS, than you are to get a collapsed vein

OP, if it makes you feel any better is always hard for then to find a vein on me and it usually takes multiple tries. I've never, ever had a collapsed vein and I've had multiple blood draws, with many attempts, in the last three weeks.

You'll be fine.
