Fasting for Profusion MRI

[Myflowers2]

Profusion MRI did anyone have to fast . Internet says you do but letter just said no Caffeine 24hrs prior to scan. Also haven't been told to leave off bisoporol or Ramipril

I had one and it was the the caffeine prohibition and no eating for 2 hours (I think) beforehand.

I was about to have my MRI and said I've got time for an early lunch.

The Radiologist stopped me. She said pease wait until after your MRI.

Drink water.

She had biscuits and a cuppa after though.

i think it was no caffeine for 12 hours - just r checked my letter - can eat normally as long as no caffeine in it. Advice was to drink water or juice.

I don't recall doing at all. It will be on your hospital letter for sure if so. If they do a stress test, be prepared for a few moments discomfort and feeling pretty weird but it passes quickly.

Well I had my profusion MRI today. You were right you do have some moments of discomfort. I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my chest. Did you ?

[Ppiman in reply to Myflowers2]

Oh yes - much as I feel after an AF episode - a kind of chest ache. I have to be honest and say that in my post i seriously underplayed how bad - and afraid - that injection made me feel!

Thanks for underplaying it . I would have worried more.

Thankfully, it was very short lived but intense. The first one I had was much less noticeable, strangely and that was 5 years back. How was yours - in all honesty? 😉
