It’s Heart Month ❤️. I post this every year as a reminder...
2017 the ‘little fire cracker’ feeling in my heart that had come and gone so many times in the past just wouldn’t go away. As before, it felt like my heart went in to hyper-speed wouldn’t turn off.
After I stupidly decided to drive myself the 40 minutes home, I was ushered onto an ambulance where a administered a drug meant to restore my heart rhythm... and when that didn’t work, the doctors at had no choice but to get out the defibrillator. It was the scariest moment of my life.
It turns out I had been ignoring a condition called atrial fibrillation. And why was I ignoring it?? Oh, there are so many reasons!
“I’m too busy”
“It’s fine, I’m fine”
“I’ll look into it later”
“The kids need something”
“Work is too busy”
Imagine thinking you’re “too busy” to check up on your HEART? I still shake my head.
So, for check out the to learn all you can about heart health and never ignore your body’s signals. Your body knows more about you than you think.
