I had this test last September and the technician had a little trouble starting an IV for the contrast other wise no problems my veins roll.

Had this after my heart attack- got a little dizzy and the dye made me feel a flush of warmth. Does not take long. I was dehydrated so they had some trouble starting the IV- make sure you hydrate well the day before, wear comfy clothes- the room can be cold so take a sweater for afterward if you think you'll need one. Not painful or uncomfortable as testing goes.
