I been a MRI tech for 4 years! If you have high anxiety I have a few tips for you! Bring a friend or family member to come in room with you! Ask if they have music for you to listen while getting scanned, cover your eyes with a wash cloth or ask your doctor for a sedative before you schedule the test. Also ask the tech to give you a count down during the scan. Ask them to talk to you every 3 minutes. This really helps.Remember breath normal. Also don't get contrast unless its absolutely necessary.

I had an MRI last weekend, and this video reduced my anxiety because it helped me know what to expect. I kept my eyes closed the whole time and pretended I was at a Daft Punk concert (because of the noises). I also asked the MRI tech to talk to me between each set of images, and to tell me when we were halfway done. It was over faster than I thought it would be!

I got an MRI when I was 10 and had broken my back (they didn't know it was broken yet lol. They had done an x-ray of my neck (even though we told them it was my back that i hurt) and sent me home. Then they called back saying that they may have seen something on T1 so they did the MRI). It was 1am so I was really tired and they just gave me these warm blankets and I fell right asleep even though it was loud. Didn't bother me one bit. Turns out T1 was fine. T3, T4, T5, and T6 were broken.

MRI for most people is only scary or rough not knowing what it will be like , or if you are not comfy with tight spaces , but if tech is nice they put wash cloth over eyes and u never know how tight it actually is , but for me a person with inner ear issues it’s pure torture , hard to stay still on a very thin table and the noise is the worst part of it ! Its honestly the worst thing I’ve ever had to experience in life and I’ve had some really crazy life experiences

The process of the MRI is a lot more uncomfortable and complicated then this video makes it out to be especially if your getting stomach mri. Which you have to drink a bunch barium sulfate fluid, Also IV contrast in arm, and a shot on the arm to slow stomach down. Never mind being put in the machine which is like a tunnel with ceiling one inch from your face with your entire body inside it. Also eat bids and head phones are out on you and the head rest you put you head in is extremely uncomfortable and they put equipment on top of your body to before putting you in the machine. Def do your research before going in. I was blind side and was not told any of this info going into my appointment. Call your doctor or mri office and ask for detail Ed instructions and how it’s going to be
