Diagnostic Tests

[blasky]

My son has been in pain head and neck for 5 months. seen many docs, ENT'sm neuroogist oral surgeon. had 2 MRI's. We went in for CT scan w/ contrast. He had a severe vasovagall response to the saline being administered through IV . Most likely he was dyhdrated and he was anxious about the radiation ( not the needle). He is 16 why should this hapen and how often does this happen. We did end up completing the test. he had no reaction to the iodine. I hope they find whats wrong the MRI's were normal. But he keeps saying there feels like something is in his throat region. Has anyone out here had a simliar experiance

At 16 your son might be experience some growth in this area. It would not appear abnormal on any scan. Of course growth does not usually hurt either. Just a thought. Perhaps an endocrine panel would show something.

Have you tried seeking out the help of an angiologist? These doctors study the veins and sometimes there is a problem with the veins in the neck that can create this situation of passing out. Also, there are times that when anything that is injected into the veins, especially if it is injected quickly will cause the patient to black out. It has happened to me. This is why I suggest you see an angiologist for they will do some exams to take a look at the flow of the blood and see if it could be a part of the problem. Good luck!
