I gave a blood sample for my thyroid yesterday, and now the spot on my arm has turned black and green and there's some swelling. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

I've been noticing some random bruising on my left leg and other areas of my body, and there's no pain or any injury that I can think of. They just show up without any warning. I'm also experiencing delayed periods and was wondering if these might be related in some way? On top of that, I've been diagnosed with vertigo. Could there be any connection between these symptoms?

I'm an 18-year-old healthy female, and I recently donated 450mL of my blood. Right after the donation, I stood up from the chair and felt this hot throbbing sensation in my neck and shoulders. Then the pain kind of spread down to my mid and lower back. My back has been seriously hurting since the donation, which was a little over a week ago. Should I consult a doctor?
