pain during a hida scan

I was in pain about 20 minutes into the scan and after the tech started the cck Med in my IV about 10 minutes in the pain was so bad then I vomited. But my RF was 85% why did I have so much pain and vomited then the test came back negative

I would be surprised if it shows anything that could explain the pain. It sounds like you found the problem with the HIDA scan.

Thank you for answering my question my GI doctor order a abdomen ct so hopefully it find something

This would still be a positive test. Recent data argue that the reproduction of pain with the CCK is a better predictor of who will benefit from cholecystectomy than the ejection fraction. It sounds like you found your problem.
