[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Blood transfusion has immediate side effects and long term side effects. Immediate side effects are usually of allergic type - causing fever, chills, rash, low BP, sometime breathlessness and facial puffiness. Late side effects are related to infection and iron overload (related to multiple transfusions)Tingling sensation is common during blood transfusion. Don't get panic. Monitor your pulse and blood pressure during transfusion. Try to avoid transfusion by taking erythropoietin injection after consultation with your nephrologist. I think this would be helpful to you. Best wishes. TC. Chat Doctor.
