Any of you had contrast in your vein for a CT scan? I had rheumatology appointment on Monday. He did a 2 week referral for a scan as my lymph nodes are swollen, lost weight and night sweats.
Had the scan last night. It really knocked me up which I wasn't expecting. The contrast made me feel sick, dizzy and woozy.
Got home and slept from 8pm throughout the night.
This morning feel, like I've got the flu. Is this just coincidence? X
Hi, I have felt a bit dizzy after having scan with contrast before. I get them fairly regularly so they just tell me to get up slowly and sit before I get off the scan now and that seems to help. I’ve always felt ok next day though, perhaps you should mention to them the next time you have another scan.
It makes me sick too Drinks tons of liquid to flush it out Tons, four pots of tea
I actually passed out the first time I had one. Since then I am sure to sit up slowly and not move off the bed until I am certain that I can stand. I was quite tired afterwards but other than that no ill effects. I hope you feel better soon xx
I found it to be a really strange sensation. Thank you x
Hi Bonny
Sorry you feel so bad. Fingers crossed it is improving. I have exactly the same problem with my glands and had a CT last week on Thursday. Ok on Friday then it took me out for all the weekend and Monday. Fingers crossed I feel a little better today. I have ended up increasing my medicines but I was going to have to do that anyway.
Get better soon.
Oh have you. There's so much going round at the moment isn't there. I seem to pick everything up too. Hope you get the results back soon and feel better x
