Breast is head down . My arms were by my side , not above my head .
I’ve had a neck MRI years ago . TBH , I found this one much easier , as you can’t actually see anything x
I was on my tummy so wasn’t able to “see” I was enclosed if that makes sense. Was like being face down for a massage with one arm outstretched for the contrast IV. That said if they can give you something to help that would be good. Propanalol is good for anxiety attacks too x
Hello all,
I am extremely claustrophobic and had to have a breast MRI. I use Xanax to fly, so I had some at home. I took it about 45 minutes before my MRI and was able to get through. Like some other people mentioned, I was face down going in feet first so I didn’t see anything, I have trouble with a face cradle when getting a massage but this was a bit better, they gave me headphones and played dance music. However, I could hear them and they could hear me. I also asked them to give me an occasional update on how much time was left. Some people may find that helpful. Lastly, I told myself that if I couldn’t do it, then I couldn’t do it to take pressure off myself. Hope this helps!
