Not all MRI hospitals are open at this time. When I had one, I had no choice but to go further to have an MRI in an open unit. I am very nervous because I am severely claustrophobic. I felt immature and stupid, but I knew I wasn’t the only one suffering from this anxiety.
I was given a few tips on what to do when I had an MRI. When I came to my appointment, I think I might have been set up. It seems that my mobile unit sets quickly. It might have been common, but it seemed to them that they were confused and agitated, and a little confused about the whole thing. He rushed into the mobile unit and told me not to move a muscle and to breathe a few times while he was photographing me. I hate the profane crowd and hide the Light. I tried to keep it perfectly still. When they were done they told me again that the pictures were not clear and that I had moved. The only thing worse about having an MRI is having it done again! and I told them that I would not pay for another. I was not at first billed. I would have fought them if I did.
There is NOTHING worse than having an MRI, only to have it happen AGAIN.
I was ready for next time. I told them that I was very claustrophobic, and also hyperactive. They gave me a sedative and said they would talk through it. You can also have someone you trust come with you and be with you during the procedure. After the sedative I didn’t care much. I gave them a small towel to cover my eyes. I told the technicians that I was scared and claustrophobic, and they were very modest about my feelings. I didn’t want anything over my nose and mouth, but I wasn’t tempted to open the towel over my eyes. If I didn’t see what would happen or what was easier on him.
through him they spoke to me. They told me when I needed to hold my breath. I was able to save it perfectly still and once I tried to look it up. It has been useful for me to have girlfriends who care for me. Because of the sedatives, I am relaxed and much less nervous than I would be without them. It wasn’t long and the whole process was.
IF YOU CAN’T STAND CLOSELY YOU HAVE AN MRI TO CHOOSE.
If you’re so claustrophobic that you can’t be in a closed MRI anywhere, talk to your doctor. You can go to any place where an MRI is currently open. Perhaps he should not suffer so much fear. If you have a good doctor, he will consider your fears and work for you. There are more and more hospitals that open MRI’s because many more than you and I have this fear.
