I am scheduled to have a CT scan Tuesday morning on my chest and upper abdomen for chest pains I have been having. The are going to inject a contrast material plus I have to drink Barium twice before going in. I am so nervous and scared that I will have and IBS attack that it is only making things worse. The nurse at the CT place assured me that it won't "clean" me out....but I'm still nervous. Any votes of confidence will be greatly appreciated.
