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

507 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!

Hmmm like a five year old…. Your body doesn’t like the contrast in it so it reacted. It’s not going to hurt you long term and it’s really important for the Dr to get a good look at whatever they gave you the contrast for so that’s why it’s done still.
