Re: heart stopping

I was in the hospital being checked for chest pains (which turned out to be nothing). I was hooked up to a heart monitor. When they started an IV that was it for me. I passed out and my heart stopped for 30 seconds. I woke up to a room full of doctors. They kept me at the hospital and did a heart catheder and my heart looked fine.
