They don't want you to have an anxiety attack any more than you do. My husband has to get MRIs of his brain yearly and they give him a sedative to do it, and without any comments or questions. "I have anxiety" is all he has to say and they give him something. In his case though, it can have drawbacks. On one of his more recent ones we got him all set up in the machine and I went off to get a coffee. I came back about 20 minutes later to check on him and the radiologist (or whoever it is that runs the machine) said he's sleeping. Oh, that's good. He's SNORING. Not a good thing. They couldn't wake him and had to wait for the drugs to start to wear off and start all over since his head was moving with each snore. The process took like 3 hours instead of 30 minutes! And if you get claustrophobia, I won't even tell you about the contraption he has to get into. It would be unbearable for the calmest among us.
