Kevin C NDE

Experience Description

My son and I came back from breakfast, after a very quick argument. I then started to sweat like I was taking a shower. I was also shaking violently, then started puking. I yelled to my son to help me get in bed. My son came up to the room and he found me lying on my back, gurgling. He pulled me up; I fell out my bed onto the floor as I hit my son, pinning him to the door.

I was instantly floating upwards, looking down at myself on the floor. I could see everything in the room, including my son who was pinned against the door. After several seconds, I went back into my body and started mumbling.

My son never called for an ambulance. He put me back into bed and I got up the next morning. Everything was in super, slow motion and felt thick while I was moving around. It was like everything was a couple seconds behind my brain. I tried to go to work but couldn't. I don't remember the next day. On the third day, I went to the doctor and then to a Cardiologist. They ran tests and tests on me. They diagnosed me with an "arterial flutter attack."
