What To Expect After Chest MRI
You usually can return to your normal routine right
after a chest MRI.
If you got medicine to help you relax during the
MRI, your doctor will tell you when you can return to your normal routine. The
medicine may make you tired, so you’ll need someone to drive you home.
If contrast dye was used during the test, you may
have a bruise where the needle was inserted. Also, if you’re
breast-feeding, you’ll need to bottle-feed your baby for a short time
after the test. The contrast dye can be passed to your baby through your breast
milk.
Ask your doctor how long you need to wait before you
breast-feed. You may want to prepare for the test by pumping and saving milk
for 24 to 48 hours in advance. |
