Anyone else claustrophobic...?!


Question:

Anyone else claustrophobic...?

I was scheduled for a closed MRI. The tech told me that there are open MRI's but the image is harder to read and that they prefer closed. I can't even breathe when I am in a closed in car wash. I am afraid. Is really as bad as it looks?


Answers:

I hear you. I had one too and because they knew I was claustrophobic they gave me Valium beforehand. They can also give you an IV with a relaxant. Just tell them and they will do something for you....lots of people have this problem.
Good luck!
