I was trawling the internet for fellow sufferers with labile hypertension. I wanted to know that I was not alone in the world. You see, every time I go near a blood pressure monitor my heart starts to speed up, I get anxious, and my blood pressure shoots up. So I end up taking my blood pressure many times a day. If the reading was high, I keep repeating. If it was ok, I would still repeat, just to be sure.

My doctor started me on medication and I was extremely nervous if I went anywhere without the bottle of pills. I had them put into small bottles so that they were in my handbag, my phone pouch, my tennis bag, or the worst case scenario would be playing in my mind. And the doctor had just put me on a minuscule dose, which is about 12.5mg of Atenolol once a day or as necessary.

Occasionally, I would feel a bit lightheaded, and then I picture myself passing out. I often thought that I would keel over with a stroke or a heart attack. And all these are just my personal demons. The only people who know my torment are my sisters and my children. My husband brusquely tells me its all in my head. I have my finger on my pulse whenever I feel heavy bounding on all my pulse points. This happens almost every day. Uncomfortable and frightening.

On Monday 25th February 2008, ‘My Miracle Heart ‘ arrived in my mailbox, and I was truly humbled. I actually have no physiological disease and I was weighted with so much anxiety and panic. This person had a real life threatening problem and self-healing using the Secret made it go away!
Straightaway, I resolved to do the same. I stopped the medication. I visualised many times a day that my heart was being healed. I spoke out loud that my blood pressure was 110 over 70, my pulse was 68, my respirations were 8 per minute, my cholesterol was normal, and my blood sugar was normal. I told myself that I had already taken my pill in the morning and that I could feel the blood vessels relaxing. I visualised my blood test result as all normal with nothing highlighted. Finally I visualised myself successfully overcoming my problems and writing my testimony. That is what compelled me to do it today, the last piece of the jigsaw to put in place.

In the beginning, even that one simple step of affirming and visualising my heart healing pushed up my pulse rate. I persevered with it, and I have noticed that now about a month and a half later, I don’t feel lightheaded any more. My whole body feels good. My latest reading is B/P 114/64, Pulse 68. If that isn’t proof, I don’t know what is. I have stopped brainwashing myself that I have high blood pressure. No more negative imagery of myself collapsing out in the street.

It was a huge effort to pull myself out of that pit, but wow, now look: I got my life back, thanks to the Secret!
