Only because you went through a scanner for several minutes without moving, so it is not unusual to feel tired. But the CT scan machine itself did not do anything to you except for some radiation...
CT scan itself should not cause you to be tire. There is some excitement and anxiety that go with getting CT exam. After the test is over, you may feel tired just on that bases. Hope all goes well with your exam.
