Agorophobia and Claustrophobia
Since I was maybe 8 I can remember the episode. I didn’t know what it was until in my 20es. I was diagnosed with Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder… which is not like I have hear much Pple have. It’s weird because I can’t be locked up or be ways from my home country for too long. I live in Jamaica and when

Sedation
Does that just relieve pain or will it also, hopefully, totally relax me and help me with my
claustrophobia
? I am worried about it. Will they put pillows under my head? Appreciate any advice. Thanks

Cardiac MRI Scan
This is the 2nd time I've tried an MRI (last time was a back injury) and the 2nd time I've had to pull out almost immediately due to the
claustrophobia
. Anyone else experienced this - and what can be done about it?

They're cancelling my medicaid...
It's not my fault I have complex PTSD, agoraphobia, and
claustrophobia
. I hate American society, now. It feels like the people in charge just don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. I am in pain every day and all I do is work to manage it. I'm so tired of the heartlessness of it all.

Rectalgesic
At the age of 75, I suddenly suffered panic attacks and
claustrophobia
. I couldn't travel on the underground, go in lifts, panic attack if I was in a room and couldn't see the exit. night panic, needing to step out of doors to get fresh air.

Over medicating
I've mentioned previously the horrible anxiety/restlessness/
claustrophobia
type symptoms I've had for a few weeks now and recently had a private blood draw to understand what is going on.

Feeling desperate
However, since around 2019 I've had bouts of what I can only describe as a mixture of depression, anxiety, restlessness and
claustrophobia
and it is deeply unpleasant.

Lab Tests Indicate High Lipase
Now the doctor wants to do an MRI ( which I’m feeling anxious already about, because of
claustrophobia
. I think they are worried about Actemra and pancreatitis. Has anyone experienced this, and could it be the Actemra?

SPECT scan horror
I do have a bit of
claustrophobia
but never felt this horrible before. They wrap you in heavy plastic shit to make sure you don't move and then stick you in a tunnel with plastic projections almost touching your face. If the scan fails due to some minor technical error they have to repeat it.

Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
I’ve previously had
claustrophobia
and these symptoms catalysed a number of repeated panic attacks and racing, catastrophic, even suicidal thoughts as the torture continued uninterrupted for several weeks with no diagnosis of any kind in sight from my GP.

Taking Nuclear test in Upright Position in something like a dentist chair.
I am very uncomfortable lying flat and have
claustrophobia
. A friend of mine shared that there is another option, and you have to search around for a cardiologist that might have it. It is much quicker (ten minutes) in the chair than the other apparatus.

Fibroscan?
The Dr. said because of my
claustrophobia
she will just ultrasound me again in 6 months but I am worried and feel maybe I should ask for a fibroscan. Does anyone else have cysts in their liver?

MRI Stress Test
The scan part was fine as I don’t suffer from
claustrophobia
, yoga has taught me how to hold my breath, which I was asked to do lots of times over the hour and a half.

GCA Biopsy
I was really annoyed though that though I’d asked several times for some light sedation (I have a tendency to medical anxiety and
claustrophobia
) none was made available to me and the local anaesthetic they used was clearly not as quick- acting or effective enough as they promised - had to push them

I don't know how to get through each day
Work, job stability, finances,
claustrophobia
(it makes my commute difficult), and my relationship all make me feel overwhelmed. I feel like I have no one to talk to.

Sorry for the mix up !
My problem with
claustrophobia
is two things .One I hate lifts, I got stuck in one as a teenager and was ok until people panicked, I have not been in one since , hate enclosed spaces! The second is I can't bear anything over my face. The thought of a huge mask over my face makes my blood run cold!
