Sergio J Probable NDE

Experience Description

It all started when I was diagnosed with a genetic disease (which until this age I did not know I had) called Parkinson's which, in short words, happens when you have an extra line stimulation to the heart.

At the moment two lines stimulate the heart, it beats twice faster than normal, and during the body strong effort episodes, no longer does its job, that is to say, only contracts but does not pump out blood, then, the lungs begin to fill with blood and the heart cannot pull it out of there.

I was taken to the emergency room and doctors performed a cardioversion on me: they had to stop the heart with an electric drive, to return it to its normal state. This intervention is done under general anesthesia.

Before being under anesthesia, I remember watching an image of Christ hanging on the wall, asking him to save my life, because my son was then only five years old, and my second son was about to be born in a couple of months, and obviously, I still had much to do in this life.

I fell asleep for a moment but I woke up with my head on the side, resting between two legs protected by a white robe, which feet were naked in a pair of sandals. Then, I felt an overwhelming peace.

After I saw this vision, I woke up - anesthesia had passed and my sister was in the room. I asked for the man who held my head between his legs but she said there was nobody. It is worth mentioning that my sister was present at all times.
