A member asked:
I have panic attacks in ct scanners. how do i explain this to healthcare workers?

Not necessary: Any healthcare worker, especially those dealing with ct scans, would be aware that there are those who because of anxiety cannot take a ct scan. Some can handle it if given some anti-anxiety medicine prior to the scan.

Panic: Claustrophobias are not uncommon in tight places such as scanners, along with loud noise. Please tell the technitian that you have panic problem & they will accomodate.
