Hi everyone,
In the morning I have to get an abdominal/pelvic CT scan. I'm underweight due to not having an appetite for years. I have to drink 900mL (around 30 oz) of barium liquid before the test and I'm scared I won't be able to drink it all. I'm also not too fond of the IV and having to hold my breath for short periods of time, as I am usually breathless from anxiety. Most of all I'm terrified that I'll receive bad results (check out my other thread if you're wondering why I'm getting the CT)
I would just like to hear anyone's experience with the scan. Thanks.
