Ct scan contrast after effects

Yes I will bluesky

I didn’t know about the salt either. Keep us updated Trendy x

I didn’t know that lemsip Thankyou

Hi bluesky I’m feeling better now, no dizziness, I think I drank a river yesterday, just have my usual nausea now slight pressure pain, results in approx 9 days now

I have had many with no side effects. Sorry.

by the way, if you are drinking lots of water you need a 'salt lick' after a while. That's a few grains of salt in your palm and lick off. Otherwise you can get dizzy because of depleted minerals in the body!

Hi Trendy how are you today? Has the dizziness passed? x

I had no side effects at all, but wasn't allowed back to school because I was radioactive. An unexpected day off!

I had one done this month. I just got a slightly funny taste in my mouth for a while. No other side effects.

Hi Trendy I’ve been thinking of you, glad it’s now done, I might have it done eventually when I get seen by the consultant. I guess what you are experiencing is normal should sort itself out soon x

I had a horrible taste for days after the CT contrast and my arm hurt for what seemed ages.
I have bad reactions, and I mean bad, to any procedures where IVs are involved.

After a PET scan I felt dizzy, yes, but that was because I'd already spent the best part of an hour for the medium to go round the body, plus I was hungry after not eating from 6pm the previous night. Then another hour while the body was being scanned.

Because of the radium inside me I couldn't have contact with people for 8 hours so had to get a hackney cab home from the hospital rather than the bus. I couldn't go through that again if my life depended on it, though was very grateful to have been " chosen " at the time when the mobile and scan was in town courtesy of Allied Medical.

However, within 24hrs I was fine. I was also okay after a CT scan too ( with medium )
You should be fine in a day or two. Hope all is well
