Hi,

Losing lots of blood associated with blood transfusion would cause anemia associated with feeling weak and lightheaded.

Tingling in the back of your head is due to hypotension caused by anemia.

Your hemoglobin level is within the normal level, so, you might have mild anemia.

Feeling panic attack is due to your anxiety after losing lots of blood. At this point, I advise to eat healthy, consume more foods high in iron like:
- meat
- liver
- egg yolk
- prunes

and drink more water and juices.

Try to relax and avoid activities that would require energy.

Wish fast recovery!
