Update From My Scary Moment

Wanted to give a quick update about the moment that was scary as hell for me and how a breathing exercise went wrong.....

It's been well over a week since it happened and haven't had an episode since. I'am due for a physical and I will at some point get checked out but based on my research and what I can recall from that experience, I never had any symptoms of a stroke. No droopiness of the face, passing out/blackout, nothing abnormal in tastes or smells, no difficulty of speaking, no altered visions, no headaches, no numbness or tingling on the right or left side of my body, no particular balance issues, no temp blindness in one or both eyes and certainly very little memory loss which came back really fast.

The biggest factors that i'm pretty damn sure made that moment happen was having a panic attack after doing those breathing techniques, having a typical argument with my wife which I take responsibility for and trying to make dinner all at the same time just went into overdrive and caused me to have what was likely an Anxiety attack. I'am prone to anxiety which has lessened over the years and due to the meningitis I had as a baby, there are certain triggers to my brain that cause certain things, nothing severe though.

This was the only bad episode of this specific caliber I ever experienced in my life so the chances of it happening again are extremely slim if at all but I have taken better precautions, breathing deeply using more of diaphragmatic and using techniques based on CoreForce Energy. My energy is still very much intact, went for a walk the other day for about an hour and wasn't anywhere near out of breath and still able to do my workouts without any fatigue or shortness of breath. I feel really good but I do know from now on, chest breathing and intercostal techniques are a no-go and I pay attention to my breathing and how my body feels if i'm feeling anxious or there's a trigger.

I have received comments about this incident on this blog and I thank you so much for your support and giving feedback on your own experiences. I have also learned of concerns from people in a place where they're also known to have little to no sympathy or remorse towards me and I want to thank them too. We all have this one life, take care of yourself but don't be so cautious it takes away what life also has to offer. I've been in far worse situations and have survived near death on multiple occasions, this was just a really bad night and it has passed.

I'am in a twisted way grateful for what happened because it was a lesson that had to teach me what can happen if something were to go wrong and I feel blessed to be in the shape i'm in and able to pull through without going through what could've been far, far worse. If I wasn't in shape, the ER would've been without question. Take care of yourselves and sending all of you (even the assholes on a certain forum) positive vibes and a peaceful day.
