Your video helped me so much. I was terrified and I had it this past Monday. I put a facecloth over my eyes so I didn't feel trapped, and they let me listen to music in the headphones. It was over so quickly and I actually started to doze off. Don't be scared people, it's fine.

Had MRI scan 2 days ago, 30 min scan went pretty quickly tbh, felt relaxed. If you are claustrophobic then just close eyes. You will be fine.

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 breathe normal. Pretend you are going to sleep or think about a fun time and just focus on that. Avoid caffeine. The tech will always give you a emergency call button if you have to come out. Ask if you can take a look at the machine before the scan. If this fails , look for a open mri in your area.

The 3 minute count downs from the Tech really helped me a lot plus counting the minutes to myself helped me know when the 3 mins was almost up....the Brain scan is the worst with that cage over your face....pumping that cool air through the tube makes a difference too.....best thing is to close your eyes before you go in the tube and keep them closed....

As one who is severely claustrophobic I've been able to successfully complete two scans but have a third coming up and my mind has wandered to a question I have never seen asked; In the extremely unlikely event that my technician would become incapacitated (for example faint, stroke, die) during my scan and unable move me out of the machine during a panic attack would I be able to extricate myself? In other words, are the constraints such that only a technician and not a patient would be about to unlock them?

Had mine yesterday at my local NHS for a neck scan. Wish I'd seen this beforehand, I would've asked for a cushion under my legs. Found it hard to breath sitting still so flat for 20 minutes. Glad it's all over.

Mine took about an hour. Despite the loud noise, I almost fell asleep multiple times and was quite relaxing to be honest..

Hi I do not like MRI scans as its too closed in for me however I am and always will be very grateful to a scan I had in April this year which confirmed a spinal tumour which I had no idea was there. I have also found a good coping strategy where I just simply close my eyes till the scan is over and this works great for me. xx

I had an MRI scan yesterday....and its left me with post traumatic stress and flashbacks. 😥🙁 I was put onto a narrow bench and a hard plastic head case with no room to move was put on my head, and clipped to the bench, my ears were plugged then I was moved into the small tunnel to lay there like that for 45 MINUTES with all the banging going on. Well the bench was flat, and I had a tumor in my throat with limited breathing, so I got in trouble after about 15 mins. I called to come out and had to have oxygen to restore the breathing. They managed to get 2 images done though, I kept my eyes closed...but if I'd have opened them I'd have freaked out with claustrophobia.

@@sueanne3139 Sorry to hear that I hope you have recovered from that scary experience now. Some hospitals have more open and larger scanners and have a mirror overhead so you can see out of the end if the scanner which makes you feel less enclosed. I find the more scans I have had the less scary it is.

I had a third brain scan today. The staff were brilliant. This scan seemed longer than the two before and, I felt, it was noisier. The lady who made me comfortable put a support cushion under my legs and also some pads for my ears as well as ear plugs. She gave me an alarm to squeeze if i needed any help during the scan. It took about 30 minutes. I needed a dye injection halfway through and after that the time passed by quickly. Overall, it is not a pleasant experience because of the noise and physically you feel as if you have been on a long train journey, but it is over quite quickly.

I had to wear only scrubs. I was fine until she put the face mask on me. I was anxious after the mask was locked on. I talked myself through. The music helped considerably.

I was very anxious before the scan due to not liking tight space i cant get away from but the staff at castle hill hull tuck you in you have ear plugs and then noise blocker pads the best part is the cool air thats blowing through the unit keeps you cool and a lot calmer,i use white noise to help me sleep the noise the unit makes is pretty damn good not scary or oppressive after 25 minutes you are nearly asleep i was in for a lumber scan and the angle gave an ache all the way through as on my back thats when it hurts apart from that i would say to anyone that may read this enjoy the time and its over quicker than you think i hope this will help others .

Good news with MRI is with new technology scan times are reducing as time passes. More wide bore scanners are introduced. Hopefully, one day we will also have a sound free scanner, if not already out.

When I had the appointment for the scan I wasn't scared at all but everything changed when I got inside the machine. I didn't expect it was such a narrow space. I thought it was spacious enough but it's not so I got shocked and my heart beat increased. I felt I could get choked for breath but it wasn't so as the AC was on in the machine.
