Suggest Treatment For Headache, Bloated Stomach And Metal Taste In Mouth

I had a Chest ct scan today and was pre medicated around 1 Pm. they had difficulty finding my vein but eventually did using a ultra sound machine. Ive had 3 done before and I never felt any side effects this time, I had a headache by the time I got to the car and still have it, I can get the metal tast out of my mouth, my food taste blah and nothing like it should. and I continue to get hot then cold. and my stomach is bloated, should I be concerned ?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of headache abdominal bloating and metalic taste following a premedication I am suggesting that you have the following differential diagnosis

In view of this please do the following test

Serum electrolytes /creatinine /urea
Fasting blood sugar
Serum carcinoembryonic antigen

Meanwhile please see a gastroenterologist specialist with the results and and for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
Moreover you can take some analgesic pending your appointment
