Have you ever had an allergic or bad reaction to Catscan Contrast or MRI Contrast?
[i][c=#BF0080]Was it a developed allergy or the first time you had it? What did it feel like?
I “developed” an allergy to the contrast they use for my MRI’s(gadolinium) years ago. If I need contrast I have to be prepped w/prednisone for a couple of days and the scans have to be done in a hospital. I had severe tightness in my chest and couldn’t breathe, the nurse acted as if it was in my head but the Dr told me it was a developed allergy and the next time can be fatal w/out the steroid prep.
I had a reaction to the Catscan Contrast as well, but not a common one. The warmth they say you should feel throughout your body felt like fire burning throughout my entire body. I tried to see if anyone else had a reaction online and found two people, but like me it wasn’t understood by their Dr’s. [/c][/i]
