yah. I suddenly became sensitive to (or noticed sensitivity to) discussions about blood loss when i was in a first-aid class. I'm not squeamish, bit I now get faint when my imagination starts digging on these topics.

not sure what to do about it, but I did learn some strategy for addressing it when I notice it: make blood-pressure higher as fast as I can.

I accomplish this change in pressure by raising my forearms above my heart and tensing them as much as I can. This seems to solve the feeling of faintness, but I don't know what to do about the sensitivity which causes it
