Is it common to get a headache after a CT scan or x-ray?
I ask because I’ve had 4 CT scans and 5 x-rays over the past 6 months, and after each test I developed a headache that lasted for the remainder of the day.
It doesn’t worry me, so there is no need to call the doctor. This just has me curious and wondering if it’s something that happens to others.
