I have hypothyroidism and yesterday I had a CT scan with contrast injected into me. This morning I am feeling totally exhausted. Can the iodine contrast have this effect.

Personally I’ve had more contrast scans than I can count, never had any problems with it. Could the tiredness you feel be a stress reaction to having the scan.
