Hemophobia can result in difficulties as your fear of blood may prohibit you from seeking medical treatment. You may postpone or avoid medical tests and physicals. You are also likely to refuse surgery, which can be life-threatening. Getting you blood drawn is not likely to occur. Being fearful of blood can also cause you to limit activities that carry a risk of injury such as sports or hiking. Overtime this can lead to isolation and your relationships can suffer. Feeling depressed is common.
