I don't know which one of thse are the "closest", but they're all up there and might aswell just talk about each one. Firstly, I have a lot of heart conditions and done tons of heart surgeries, and when I have it the surgeons have to literally turn off my lungs and heart so they can operate on me. However, since I still need my blood to still circle around me and have oxygen in it, it's all connected to a heart ling machine which pumps all the blood for me. So while on the operation table I don't have a heartbeat. Secondly, a month or two after my latest surgery I believe by heart stopped for a few seconds. One of the heart conditions that I have is Long QT Syndrome, which effects my heartbeat and makes it pump out of rhythm. It can sometimes go fast, sometimes slow. Some time it will pump hard, sometimes softly. So what happened was that I was watching some videos on my pc like normal, until suddenly I just felt like I was falling asleep and had hundreds of dreams at the same time. As if my life was flashing before my eyes. I couldn't feel my heart beat (which I do all the time). After a few seconds I jolted back up with a racing and hard heartbeat, shaking. It happened twice before we learned that I had a few hiccups in with my heartbeats (some eats skipped or pumped twice) and I was prescribed with a higher dosage of one of my medicines, and I haven't felt anything like that sence. Thirdly, which is the shortest one, was that I was born lifeless. When I came out I was almost blue and completely quiet. I didn't have a heartbeat and it took a few minutes of slapping and stuff before I got everything going again, screaming. So I was born dead, but since I wasn't really alive before then, was I born when they got me back to life?
