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!

Hello! I am allergic to a specific type of contrast that was used during a stress test. I instantly broke out into hives and my tongue swelled up to the point where I was having trouble breathing (notorious mouth breather). What sucked was that the tech didn’t seem to understand what was happening until a couple of nurses ran to get the attending. Solved by giving me benadryl. 4/10 wouldn’t do it again.
