First time I started to understand claustrophobia was in high school. Four pretty big guys in a '65 Mustang coupe. I was one of two in the backseat. Just a very uncomfortable feeling for someone that likes a certain measure of control.

I've since had several MRIs and surprisingly didn't have any issues. I think I just convinced myself that I'm in a safe place where the people around me are basically there to take care of me. It's still uncomfortable to an extent. But I've managed a mental work around that makes it doable for me.

Worst case, ask for some sedation. Good luck with your next run at it.
