Hello. So I stumbled upon this website and decided to make a post.

I have terrible anxiety and need medication. Anyway I had an MRI done yesterday because of some ringing in my left ear. So I got on the bed and laid with my fingers interlaced on top of my stomach. During the MRI, when the noises started, I could feel prickly things around my whole body. Sometimes it got so bad I could feel it in my lungs. I'm 15 and I've never had an MRI done. After this I had an anxiety attack because of the sensation. This sounds dumb, I know, but I've researched this and no one has had the same feeling as I. I hope this is normal.

Thanks guys.

NOTE: I forgot to mention that the prickly feeling is like when your foot goes to sleep but all over your body. And I felt it in my lungs one time when the noises got really loud.
