They are certainly small spaces. I'm glad I didn't have to raise my arms up over my head this time. Because of bursitis in my shoulder, that's painful.
It's kind of hard to explain how I feel during a panic attack. My heart is racing, I have a sense of impending doom, I feel like I'm being smothered and can't breathe, and I think I have the urge to scream or something. It's not a pleasant experience, is it.

@jimhd I get claustrophobic; MRI or CT machines are a nightmare for me. I try to ward off impending [extreme] discomfort by praying the test will show a good outcome. I sometimes "do" Tai Chi Chuan in my mind, or "draw" Zentangle patterns.

No it is not a pleasant experience @jimhd
One thing I noticed is that my anxiety comes mainly from not making a decision on a timely basis. If I leave decisions unmade it comes out as stress, so I now try and make a definite decision even if is only to wait for a definite period.
