finger sticks
 

This may be an odd question, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Finger sticks don't bother me. I usually get enough blood very easily, maybe a tiny sqeeze. Every once in a while, I do that same light squeeze...and the blood goes shooting out. Tonight it hit my glasses, my face, even on my shirt. And this is NOT a hard squeeze. Do I just sometimes manage to hit just the right spot to do that, and has that ever happened to anyone else?

I can honestly say that has not happened to me.

Are you by any chance taking blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, etc.)?

All I am taking is metfornin, 500mg twice a day, and lisinopril 10mg once a day.

My mother has mentioned it happening to her once or twice, but I've done it several times.

It's happened a couple of time
To me idk why weird!

It could be aspirin thinning your blood. I too have had the same thing happen to me.

It HAPEND 2me 1x and I've been testing for 8mo. Now do not take any blood thiners

I have to massage my fingers for at least 5min. To get blood sometimes sticking 3 times

Yes usually when I take an aspirin. I haven't been taking them lately and haven't had that problem.
