Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Photoread4me survives heart attack

Hello friends; hope all is well with all of you. Unfortunately i experienced a heart attack about a week ago Sunday March 6 around 1100pm or 1130pm but i am grateful to be alive and because i acted so quickly the cardiologist told me i avoided major damage to my heart and they expect me to have a 90% per cent recovery and lead a normal life.

Life really is a precious gift and it is fortunate to have another chance or more opportunities.

I definitely will be making some radical changes. I used to exercise on a regular basis had gotten up to 45 minutes on the treadmill jogging,lost 25 pounds then the flu season came a couple of years ago i got sick & stopped exercising.

I think 3 things lead to the heart attack.

1. Anger and or lack of stress management.

2. Poor dietary choices.

3. No exercise.

Well as i have told my cardiologist it is a matter of choice and i choose to make the right choices.

I cannot control the events that happen around me but i can control how i choose to respond to them and i will work on stress management. Dietary choices; gone are the days of a big bag of Lay's pototoe chips drowning in a dip of sour cream and green onion dip. Gone is butter pecan ice cream and eating many crackers with cream cheese.Gone are the juicy hamburgers loaded with mayonaisse. Gone is the pototoe salad drowning in mayonaise as well as the cakes,cookies and pies.

I will exercise on a regular basis and i choose to eat healthy good foods that are good for the heart and body.

Some medicines i will now take for the rest of my life some medicines the doctors will eventually wean me off of.

Once again i am grateful to be alive and have the opportunity to be able to make some more choices in life and i wish all of you the very best that life has to offer.

Sincerly,

You never said what you're going to do to sort this out?

Maybe some people here have some good book recommendations.Anyone?

I'd say PR a ton of books on how to stay chilled and conquer stress.

Take care!

The Works is a good on for anger and stress management. See Loving What Is by Byron Katie.

I will be working with nurses, exercise physiologists, & dieticians for cardiac rehabilation. One of the major things they will address is stress management. I am sure i can learn a lot from that. I have a book Anger Kills by Doctors Redford Williams and Virginia Williams they related how anger creates such havoc in terms of high blood pressure and if left unchecked can lead to heart attacks, strokes etc. So i will be addressing these issues about keeping emotions under control during cardiac rehab as well as the health professionals monitoring different parts of my heart during exercise with an ekg to see how the different parts of the heart respond. Thank all of you for your goodwill and concern. All the best to you.

You might consider Spring Forest
Qigong for both healing and
stress management. The meditations
alone would help you there.

It's nice to see so many well wishers for you photoread4me.

I'm a strong advocate of SFQ, but it's not the only road to a healthier live. Although it is the one I've chosen.

LSC, has a large recommended reading list and many of them will help your with reducing stresses effect on your body.

Now the reason I'm adding another post. In you last message you commented on "keeping emotions under control". Emotions are not something you can control. I would suggest that you learn about yourself and your emotions and your relationship with them will evolve into a more healthy one.

It is important that the way you react to your emotions change. Most peoples automatic reactions to their emotions do not lead to the healthiest actions.

--- Interrupted Preaching --- Short summary (Hopefully) ---

Emotions are not bad. Become aware of all your emotions. Accept them. Look for the gift they hold. Use them for guidance.

You are perfection.
