Near death, explained

[hollysmom]

5. I remember very clearly

There was waking up because the alarms went off and seeing my blood pressure drop to 0 and seeing my brother sitting there crying. I wanted to talk to him but just felt so tired. I closed my eyes and went to sleep. What is there to forget. Why would I have an out of body experience if I remember going to sleep and making a decision to do it? Maybe people with out of body experiences made it up. Maybe both are true. Why should I be doubted and others accepted?

Look, I understand that people who are alive but under anesthesia remember hearing words in an operating room. But they are still alive. I saw myself die, but for some reason just assumed I would wake up. I saw the crash cart, heard the people yelling, but it was just so annoying when I was trying to sleep and they would not let me sleep on my side, I remember being pushed on my back I fought them, but was just too tired.
I was not passed out or knocked out. I was dead. The doctor said I didn't wake up for 3 days because they had to flush the medications out of my blood stream that caused the problem, but I had died 3 times and had to be resuscitated and medicated to reverse the problem, I remember waking up and the alarms going off 2 times, the first time I was was sitting up and awake having just walked into the emergency room.

Note: the problem was I had been put on blood pressure medication and told to take the pills twice a day every day. That was fine while I was stressed at work, but when I went on vacation I kept taking the pills and I did not monitor my blood pressure like I do today. Apparently my blood pressure was normal away from work and I kept lowering it, so there was a build up in my blood of unneeded medication. I am happy that it waited until i was to go back to work because the doctor was in her office and told me to go to the ER as soon as I described the dizziness, I was awake and not at home where I would have just gone to sleep. As a warning to people who are just put on blood pressure, monitor to make sure you have the right dose. I have heard from a lot of people who seemed to die quietly in their house or sleep after starting blood pressure medication.
