Hypnotherapy and Hypnobalancing™ in Berlin
Help for claustrophobia and anxiety during MRI
The prospect of undergoing an MRI can provoke a great deal of anxiety. For many people, closed spaces can evoke anxiety or panic attack. Claustrophobia, or fear of tightly enclosed spaces, is a very real thing. Discover how Hypnobalancing™ can help you.
Overview
Fear of MRI
Have you been referred for an MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) by your medical doctor? An MRI scan is a painless technique that allows medical doctors to look at the soft tissues of the body. Many patients experience some level of distress during an MRI examination.
In a traditional bore, the opening is just slightly larger than the patient, which can tend to create a very restrictive and uncomfortable environment. Is even the thought of lying in a narrow, restricted scanning tunnel in a traditional MRI system causing you to feel intense anxiety and panic? Maybe you suffer from claustrophobia, the intense fear of confined spaces.
If you already know that you feel uneasy in narrow spaces, and you feel like this might prevent you from completing an MRI procedure, you should contact your physician to discuss it with them.
Help
Classified as an anxiety disorder, claustrophobia is more common than many people might think. If you suffer from claustrophobia, the prospect of needing an MRI can induce a great deal of stress. For many people, closed spaces can evoke anxiety or panic attacks, which can manifest in breathing difficulties, overheating, profuse sweating, nausea, heart palpitations, and other highly uncomfortable symptoms.
In this case, hypnotherapy in combination with self-help tools can help you.
