Have you had an MRI?
What was your experience?
Did you panic?
I'm scheduled for an MRI on the 17th and I am not a fan of confined spaces. 😩

Ive had a couple. The worst part is the loud swooshing noise. It’s weird. But they give you earplugs or headphones.
When I had mine done., I was nervous because I am quite claustrophobic. But I focussed on my breathing and doing deep breaths until I relaxed. the technician is there with you and they give you an emergency button to push if you absolutely cannot stand it. I thought for sure I would use the emergency button, but I did not
And you should receive information from them before your MRI with what to do beforehand what to expect and what to bring with you if anything. For my first MRI many years ago I was told I could bring an audiobook with headphones But I wasn’t told that for the second one I had three years ago. I guess it just depends on where it’s being done.
You’ll be totally fine though
