My Dr. Cardiologist sent me to a Cardiac Surgeon who ordered a 3-D CTA scan, I asked "Exactly What is Involved?" He said "it's like every other CT scan you've had except they'll inject a little dye, but it'll flush out of your system within a couple of hours." (WRONG!). The "Tech" who performed the CT scan told me to drink a lot of water to flush the dye, I did Just as I was told, & the next 8-12 hr.'s I felt like I was on a "slippery slope"... it was the 6th day after the Scan before I felt Normal again. The 2nd & 3rd days I had 'brain fog' & my equilibrium was "Off", I felt Drunk. Days 4 & 5 my energy level was so low I'd be in & out of bed on about a 2 hrs rotation. Finally on day 6 mental clarity & energy came back.
I called the Cardiac Surgeons office & told them I'd had 5 miserable Days as a result of the scan, I won't be back.
