@radtech.catherine: These are the symptoms that some patients experience with CT contrast #Radiology #☢️Radiology #cttech #cttechnologist #xray #xraytechnologist #xraystudent #radtechstudent #
When I got contrast, they put a butterfly needle into my hand and I had no symptoms. I just had to pee. Cuz it, increase your bladder production.

I had contrast 3 times and never experienced a single symptom. Just wanted to add this for people that get anxious hearing the other horror stories in the comments!

Contrast makes me feeling like I’m knocking on deaths door for a solid 30 seconds, which is fine, except I have to be perfectly still so it’s like I’m going to spontaneously combust

Yeah I’m terrified. Any weird sensation I have causes me extreme anxiety. Idk how I’m gonna go through with this 🤨

The tech told me I’d feel like I peed my pants and I guess I didn’t expect it to feel like I *really* peed my pants. I was shocked when I got up and I truly didn’t lol

I won’t lie, in a cold hospital after waiting for hours to get seen, after that burn subsides, the warmth actually feels nice

YES: the metallic taste + the “uncomfortably warm” feeling + feeling like you’re peeing your pants. Also, my throat felt like it was closing up (but it wasn’t). What’s awful is that no one told me about any of this beforehand, so I thought I was having an allergic reaction. 😭

Is it normal to feel like you can’t breathe for like, 30 seconds? Idk whether to add contrast allergy to my chart

Bird brain🍉 :
It just made me feel like I peed my pants, but the part that caught me off guard was the machine telling me “stop breathing” I swear I had to stop myself from laughing
