16. two weeks ago, blood pressuer 285/210
unable to breathe. called the paramedics & got whisked to the hospital where the blood pressure again was 285/210, diognosed with congenital heart failure. strange thing that happened is that when I closed my eyes and started meditation my blood pressure lowered way down to a safer 165-140/120-80 range in a matter of minutes. one of the ER docs noticed this and started asking what meds I'd been given. just nitro from the emt's I spoke up and told him I was doing a meditation trick I learned when I was 16, I am 50. he came to my room the next day and I showed him how I did it.

2 emts told me they though I was about to die before we left my house. the head er doc also mentioned to me the following day that I came very near to diein the ER. I'm much better now.

the closest I came to dieing before this was when I was 16 & broke 5 vertebrae, fractured my skull in 3 places and cracked some ribs in an auto accident. that's when I learned the meditation technique to quickly calm myself. helped with my recover. probably help me this time too.
