traumatic mri scan

traumatic mri scan

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???

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.
