Last Saturday, while at the theater, I had a heart attack. Massive chest pains that spread up to my face. I told my husband that we needed to go to the hospital. As soon as I could walk, he got me to our car, and took me to Enloe Emergency. In the car I remembered the triangular breathing that Mr. Gantt had taught us in Tai Chi, and did it for the entire car ride, and continued in the ER. They kept me over the weekend and ran a chemical stress test, which makes your heart race like crazy, so again I used Triangular breathing.
They found no damage to my heart, thank goodness. My cardiac doctor aid that the Tai Chi breathing likely saved me from further complications and praised the practice highly. I am so grateful to be a part of this [Azad’s Martial Arts] program. Thank you.
