Do you know if x-ray exam could cause people feeling tired and dizzy?

Thanks. Both me and my daughter feel a little dizzy after an x-ray. I have noticed it for many years.

not noramlly for any plain plate X-ray tests, eg. chest/abdominal x-ray; but certain people do experience nausea and vomiting when contrast is used for the procedure. The adverse effects usually does not last long and subside within hours.

Theoretically YES.

X-ray is EM radiation. (So does gamma ray.)

High-dose radiation could cause people feel tired, dizzy or even death.

Under normal condition, X-ray exam won't give people over-dose x-ray radiation. However, in case the X-ray machine has problem, it may.

In real life, we had experience that Co-60 (gamma ray source) machine did not cure but kill people.
