    I just had my yearly CT scan done yesterday, but all day today I have felt very nauseous and have had a headache. I don’t remember feeling like this last time but is it possible it could be from the dye?

      Between the tracer and the barium, I never feel great after.  It always makes me run to the bathroom about 2 hours later.  You also should drink a lot of water to help pass it.

      Hello,

      My husband gets projectile vomiting in the car on the way home and it is only about 20 minutes or so after the scan.
