My lungs feel like they hurt like they are dry kind of hurt the more I talk they hurt....?? and have to try to take deep breaths. I am 42 and never had these problems since I had a Gadolinium mra injection back in December of .04 mmol I think that was a lot of dye for a 100 pounds that I am
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Gadolinium contrast can rarely cause Pulmonary fibrosis and bronchitis. And both these cause hurting feeling in lungs, breathing difficulty etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. HRCT thorax. 3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). HRCT is needed to rule out Pulmonary fibrosis. PFT is needed to rule bronchitis. If all these are normal then no need to worry for major lung diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
