Need some advice/insight on meditation, answer seeking [View all]
For background I'm a 44 year old female, not overweight but not exactly in shape, I do have a caffeine and nicotine addiction. On Thursday I went to the ER by ambulance with symptoms that I thought were a heart attack. I was driving and suddenly my heart started to race, I felt like I was doing to pass out, felt tightness in my chest, felt sweaty and it was hard to breath. I managed to drive home and called 911. By the time I got to the ER I was stabilized but still had a very fast heart rate. They kept me overnight for observation. All tests came back normal (lots of bloodwork, a CAT scan of my chest, echocardiogram, respiratory analysis). They said it was heart palpitations undetermined cause and made me an appointment to see a cardiologist in a week. Just so you know I AM PLANNING on following up with medical care and following medical advice with this. My problem is...I just sobbed my eyes out all night while sitting in that hospital room...wondering what does this mean, why is this happening, oh my god I've been wasting my life etc. My obvious thing is I'm going to cut out the coffee and cigs but I can't help but feel there is a deeper meaning than just physical. When I try to think about what that might be I get overwhelmed. So does anyone know of a good meditation, thought clearing exercise, getting in touch with my spirit guides type of exercise to help me. As I said, not looking for medical diagnosis just some tips, insight on what this might mean on a spiritual level....
