If you’ve ever been told you have ‘hard-to-find veins,’ you’re not alone. A few small steps can help make your blood draw quicker and more comfortable.

  1. Hydrate the day before and the morning of (unless fasting instructions say otherwise).

  2. Stay warm—cold makes veins constrict.

  3. Avoid heavy exercise right before your draw.

  4. Let us know if you’ve had fainting or difficult draws in the past.

  5. Relax your arm and breathe—tension can make it harder.
