Heart trouble healed spiritually
For several years I intermittently experienced what felt like a fluttering in my heart. At some point, I realized this sensation was due to an irregular heartbeat. For quite a while I thought of this as merely an annoyance that I wished would go away, because otherwise I was feeling fine. When the sensation became nearly constant, however, I became afraid to the point that I stayed home from work a couple of times and curtailed other activities, even though I noticed no other symptoms.
I dealt with this situation through prayer, and gave myself Christian Science treatment, although not with a great deal of consistency. One night, as I lay awake, very aware of this irregular heartbeat, I couldn't help feeling my life was at the mercy of something that seemed to be going awry inside of me.
