I am very claustrophobic. Went for an MRI in November 2022 & couldn't do it. I later realized that unless I was completely knocked out I couldn't getan MRI. I also GB ave difficulty breathing on n my back. Since May 2022 I have only drive enough two e. Vertigo lasted nearly a year from mid December er 2022 til No ember 2023. I am pretty much bedridden. Any movement without lying down causes dizziness. I have ALOT of amxiety. I retired because of symptoms in Dr ember 2022. My diagnosis was Menendez Disease but with ongoing dizziness I don't know if that was correct because I thought attacks came and went and were shortlived. I take diuretic s, have seriously decreased caffeine and salt intake. So did you get knocked out to have your MRI. I have not been to a doctor for the symptoms sin e @022 thinking the Drs couldn't move forward in treatment without the MRI.
