Can the contrast dye of an MRA scan cause a flutter in the thigh?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. MRA stands for magnetic resonance angiography, also called a magnetic resonance angiogram. Yes, it is a safe procedure, and the dye is also safe and is injected to make blood vessels visible. Sometimes dye or contrast injected into the body can cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, but usually, they are mild and do not last long. If someone has a history of kidney disease, then a kidney function test is obtained before injecting the dye into the body. You have mentioned you are a healthy individual otherwise, so you do not have to be anxious about the side effects of the contrast. Also, a flutter-like sensation in front of the left thigh is unrelated to MRA. Therefore, you need not worry about MRA or contrast. Do not worry about the result too much; rather, patiently wait for it.

Kindly follow up if you have any further related queries.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. You have mentioned you have had anxiety for years, and after reading an article on the internet, it all added up and made you very anxious. You should practice sitting quietly for a few minutes to hours and be watchful and alert to your thoughts randomly coming and going. Mere observation of such phenomena happening in our body and mind brings calmness and quietness without any effort. This honest observation without any motive to change or replace it with another thought is very important to bring psychological change to your mind and overall well-being. It can help lower your anxiety level.

Kindly revert for further queries.

Thank you.
