I died for 40 seconds before coming back to life: this is what’s on the other side

A woman who died and came back to life has revealed what it’s like on the other side.

Courtney Santiago, 32, was dead for about 40 seconds. “I didn’t hide the shock on my face, as she had felt like a lifetime,” she said.

In July of last year, Ms. Santiago underwent a breast MRI, which is done regularly because she has the BRCA-2 gene.

This is one of the most common genes that increases the risk of breast cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Courtney Santiago, 32, claims she had a near-death experience after passing out during a routine MRI. “I wasn’t worried about leaving behind my body, my life, my son or my family and friends, none of it seemed important to me,” she said.

After the IV was inserted, she began to feel sick and quickly lost consciousness.

in a video On TikTok, Ms. Santiago said: “There was no concept of time at all, just the feeling of total peace.”

“I wasn’t worried about leaving behind my body, my life, my son or my family and friends, none of it seemed important to me,” she said.

Intensive care doctor reveals five things that patients on the brink of death remember

Doctors questioned more than two dozen patients in the US and Britain whose hearts stopped suddenly while in hospital but later recovered.

Their experiences included ‘evaluating life’, such as seeing replayed memories and evaluating how they had treated others during their lifetime.

She fell into a “dream state”, where she was standing on the beach in front of a man she had never met but felt like she had known forever.

The man told him that everything was fine and that it was not his time to go yet.

Suddenly, his surroundings began to change. She was in the mountains, then in the backyard of her childhood home and other places where she felt more connected to nature.

Ms. Santiago stated that once she woke up, she was unable to speak and her body felt completely rigid.

Tests revealed that she had vasovagal syncope, a condition in which patients pass out from overreacting to certain triggers, such as blood or emotional distress. In response, heart rate and blood pressure drop, reducing blood flow to the brain. This causes him to briefly lose consciousness.

Although the heart can drop for up to 10 seconds, the condition is not life-threatening.

“I’m 100 percent sure that what I saw was the ‘in-between’ and it was much more than just a fainting episode,” Ms. Santiago said.

In a series of TikTok videos, Ms. Santiago said she had a feeling something might go wrong during the MRI. “When we die, we are not gone and where we go, we are happy,” she said.

Weeks before the episode, he had suffered a bad breakup and the death of a friend. This could have contributed to the near-death experience, she said.

A near-death experience (NDE) is triggered during a unique life-threatening situation, such as when the body is severely injured or someone’s heart stops.

Experts believe that 10 to 20 percent of people whose hearts have stopped have a near-death experience.

This is five percent of the total population.
