Feeling sudden chills or shivering roughly one hour after a CT scan is a may be due to reaction to the iodinated contrast dye. body's response to the foreign chemicals can sometimes cause a secondary reaction as it begins processing and eliminating the substance.
Next Steps
Drink plenty of water over the next 24 hours to help your kidneys flush the contrast material out of your system.
Health Tips
