traumatic mri scan

[rosieholly]

Hi i had an MRI today as i keep feeling really tired and dizzy, this has been going on 4 months.  During the MRI a pressure built up inside my head and and eyes it felt like my head was going to explode.  I am not a wimp by nature but i had to push the emergency button to stop the scan.  This was the last scan and i was only 40 secs away from completion.   I looked on search engines and this seems like an unusual MRI experiance can anyone shed light???

I had the exact same experience and doctors WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME!!! They keep saying I have anxiety and need to be medicated but I refuse. I am so glad I found this post. I did not have contrast dye and I am not diabetic either. I have been trying to request my records and I can't afford them so they will not give me them.

It is unusual and there is no reason for the MRI to cause this problem unless you had a dye contrast MRI. This is not an uncommon reaction to iodine contrast medium.

It can also happen if you are a diabetic on metformin and take iodine contrast.

Request a copy of all hospital records.
