Question: Does dye usually make you feel sick?
Answers:
The Iodine can sometimes make you feel sick during the injection, but hours later no, it wouldn't be making you woozy. Within 10 minutes of the injection, 90% of the dye has been pulled out of your blood by the kidneys, the rest is removed within a couple of hours. Sometimes that warm sensation or the metalicky taste can make you vomit, but that too is only during the first 5 minutes after the injection. Chances are, you are feeling woozy either from whatever is going on with your head, some other illness, or you are just psyching yourself out into feeling woozy since you think maybe the dye would do that. It just doesn't.
