I recently had a CT scan and was given Omnipaque 350mg/ml Inj, 50ml. The doctor said it would help highlight the blood vessels and organs more clearly. I had no idea they'd inject me with a dye, I felt a bit weird while the scan was happening. I'm curious to hear about other people's experiences! Have any of you had any unusual side effects? I had some light dizziness and a headache but it went away quickly. How are the potential side effects handled? Were there any long-term effects on anyone? I'm grateful the scan went well, but I can't shake the feeling of anxiety over the rare but serious side effects. How can I be sure they're taken care of?
