I had a heart attack in September and today was the first day I was able to return to yoga and I'm just so thankful I'm able to return to doing what I love.
I also want to raise awareness for other Black women because, according to the AHA, 49% of Black women from 20+ have heart diseases and only 52% know the signs of a heart attack.
I was really lucky that I was with my partner and was able to make it to the urgent care before things really started going south but PLEASE BLACK WOMEN GO TO A CARDIOLOGIST IF YOU CAN
I am 21 years old, a non-smoker, vegan, and I had a random heart attack that I found out was related to blood poisoning.
