Why would a person get sick after being injected with MRI contrast in their IV?

581 views

One time in the hospital suffering from gi problems I had to drink a certain amount of liquid contrast for an MRI on my stomach , then when I was brought down to the room with the machine the nurse administered the IV dye or contrast and not even two minutes later I had to yell help because I got really sick . Am I allergic to the dye used for MRIs or was it a random occurrance? I felt instantly hot and sick . I have no known allergies could this potentially be one? Thanks in advance guys!

Hot and sick doesn’t sound like an allergic reaction to me if those were your only symptoms.

Were you treated for an allergic reaction during this experience? Did they give you antihistamines or epinephrine? If not, it probably wasn’t an allergic reaction.
