A member asked:
Yesterday when my iv was flushed i literally felt it go into my chest and bubble and i felt dizzy after. why could this be? is this normal?

Micro air embolism with IV flush is not uncommon and usually asymptomatic but it may cause such symptoms. The air is already in the tubing when the line is flushed, less likely in the prefilled syringe. You should tell the nurse so the line will be appropriately inspected before flushing. Good luck.
