I work in radiology- 80% of my patients say “I hate MRI” or that they are severely claustrophobic. Nobody really likes it.. you’re definitely not alone.
I am Claustrophobic to, One time I was in a really tight space and I almost hat a heart atack, So my toughts in my mind were "What if I never get out?" "Will I be stuck here forever?" But now it has got even worse and there is no possible help for me sadly.
Aww🤗...i have been having them for 30yrs now and now adays with the wedge under your legs and ear plugs i just go to sleep EXCEPT during covid when i had to wear a mask in that machine i had to come out and calm down before they could put me back in. It would have been helpful🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ if they told me in advance that i would need to have a mask on in the MRI. Like really, come on, basic consideration😆😅
So glad you've found something that works for you when you're going in. I totally agree, I often think that some of the problems people experience around treatment etc are caused, in part, by poor communication. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
This is what happened to me! I started hyperventilating and got sick to my stomach, i had to hit the panic button and they ran in with a puke bag. Ugh it was awful. im scared now bc now i need to reschedule another one :(

It’s a blessing to be claustrophobic so you don’t have the urge to go to caves
