17. I also developed "mildish" claustrophobia late in life.
In my 40s I was going up in the St. Louis arch. The elevator cars are small windowless spheres. As soon as I got in, warning bells went off in my head.
"I don't think I want to do this."
I got out.
Now I even get a little bugged in a middle seat on an airplane.

I had an MRI a couple of years ago, but it was an open one.
No problems.
Had a friend who had to be heavily sedated to do the closed type, before open ones became available.
