I had an MRI scan of my back and pelvis early this afternoon. This evening and tonight on checking my BP I had of readings of 90/62 and heart rate 65 and 96/53 81. Last night it was a more normal 136/88 82. I have not had a BP med today as I take it at night.
I don't see how the scan could have caused it. It was rather warm and humid today and with two hours total travel and 2 1/2 hours at the hospital my liquid intake was about three mugs down and my urine output also down.
I had meant to add that my pacemaker was set to MRI mode for the procedure and that I was in AF during all of it but I did not feel any change in myself though being stuck in a tube for about an hour distracts you from everything.
I had been assured that the hospital followed all of the Boston Scientific protocol for scanning including that the patient must be monitored during the scan by pulse oximetry and/or electrocardiography (ECG). On asking I was told that it was not necessary.
