Has anyone felt like they were burning during a CT scan?

I haven't but it is possible if certain creams and lotions have metals in them.

I agree with panda. It’s probably a reaction to the contrast.

Hmm maybe with the ones I've had contrast with. 🤔

@ScreamingFox I'm not a fan of them either. 😕 I hope it goes by without a problem!

@thepeculiarpanda thank you. I've got all my fingers crossed

@thepeculiarpanda Was coming to say this. The contrast definitely makes you feel flush and then like you've wet yourself.

Not the CT scan but the MRI I did.

Not that I can recall. Sometimes the contrast prior to that felt like it was burning in my veins but it was temporary.

More like I get hot all over but I've been told that's normal
@SlippingAway It's very normal
the stuff they gave me did

I have not. I've had a few and felt nothing

Yes. Sometimes they inject a dye that can cause that sensation.
I have had five or six this year alone, the contrast is a bit warming

@NativePortlander1970 that’s what I meant. Contrast. Thanks.
