allergic reaction to mibi dye
by Paul46, Apr 27, 2008 10:24AM
I recently moved back to Kentucky after retirement. I had my first MIBI here in October. I have had a severe case of idiopathic urticaria(hives) with angioedema. I am diabetic and the steriods to treat the severe reactions are causing blood sugar problems. The question is... This is the first mibi or stress test that the two stages, rest and stress, were don't in the same morning. I was given dye for both tests. I have found it is common here because many patients travel to Lexington from Eastern Kentucky. I have seen several specialist and no cause is given. The Cardiologist's office has not returned any calls and the other specialists won't talk about another doctor. I am a retired doctor and am not looking to litigate but to answer questions. I feel more like an assembly line product rather then a concerned patient. Has anyone had a similiar problem? Thanks for any feedback.
