Very rarely, you might feel nauseous for a
quick moment when they inject the contrast. I do. The technician has told me
some people do, but it’s rare. It only lasts a few seconds, but the
feeling’s pretty strong. <o:p></o:p>

You may get a "cool" feeling if they administer it correctly.
If they administer it and miss the vein, you would get a "burning"
sensation. Let them know if you have any discomfort. <o:p></o:p>

You may want to request a blanket if you're sensitive to cold. I am always
freezing during my MRIs, especially post-contrast. <o:p></o:p>

Good luck on your MRI. Take care.<o:p></o:p>
