MRI Tingly Wave Feeling & Dizziness?
I actually have no idea if I put this question is categorized correctly -- sorry if it is in the wrong place!
I just came back from an MRI appointment I had today that left me very confused.
This morning, I was a bit nervous about going in for my appointment since I never had an MRI before, so I didn't know what to expect. I went online and was SO relieved that all of the information I found about getting an MRI, and that it was painless and without the loud noise I would probably even fall asleep (if I was not claustrophobic). This was so good to read, especially since I am not at all claustrophobic!
However, once I got onto the table and it went inside the machine, two seconds before I even head the noise, I actually felt the air change, which made me feel very dizzy and almost instantly get a headache. I closed my eyes, thinking that this would help me not be dizzy, but it didn't work. I started feeling tingly "waves" across my skin, almost like static or small needles. Also, my knee (the reason why I was getting an MRI) started hurting.
It's just very surprising to me that I felt all of this, when I went in thinking I wasn't going to feel a thing. I even felt it in my teeth if that makes any sense. I still feel like the tingly feeling has not gone away completely.
Is this normal? How come it would do something like that?
Thank you for your answers! :)
