No longer able to donate blood

Hi,

I've just had an implantable loop recorder inserted to measure Long QT Syndrome. An unexpected consequence is that I'm no longer able to donate blood, which I've done for many years, and is important as I have a rare blood type. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
