My CT Scan Prep: What I Wish I Knew

Had my first CT scan last month and wow, I was clueless at first. Here’s what made it way less stressful: 💡 Double-check instructions with your doctor—ask about food, meds, and if you need to avoid anything. I almost missed the no-eating rule before a contrast scan! ✅ Tell them if you might be pregnant or have kidney issues. It changes what kind of scan or dye you get. 🔔 Leave jewelry and metal at home. I had to scramble to take off my necklace in the waiting room. ⚠️ After the scan, drink lots of water if you had contrast dye. It helps flush everything out. Hope this saves you some nerves! #CTScan #HealthTips #PatientExperience #CTScan #HealthTips #PatientExperience #Health #Wellness
