“Is it normal to feel tired after a CT scan?”
After the CT scan I feel tired. Is it normal? Should I see a doctor?
1 Answer
Not usual. Not “normal.“ The CT scan is a computerized X-ray. The CT scan may be enhanced by the administration of intravenous radiocontrast dye. The dye circulates through blood vessels and then is excreted through the kidneys. This dye has a diuretic effect and can lead to dehydration. So, if one received the radio contrast dye then dehydration and fatigue may follow.
