What Could Cause A Pain In Lower Abdomen And Nausea During A Scan?

I have been having upper abdominal pain for the past few days. I got an ultra sound done and it didn't show anything on it. I was then told to do a HIDA scan which I did. During my scan I felt a burning sensation where my gallbladder is and nausea, and then later I felt pain in my lower abdomen where my appendix is, I also have had bad diarrhea since my scan. Is this normal?

Hi and thanks for this query.

I am sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have had after this exam. It is clearly not normal to feel this way after this exam but it in no way represents a life threatening condition. Because a dye was injected into the body, this could very much represent an allergic reaction to this substance. Drink enough fluids and get enough rest. This would slowly get resolved as this dye is being cleared fro the system.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
