How to survive an heart attack when alone...


Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're
going home (alone of course),
after an unusually hard day on the
job. You're really tired, upset and
frustrated. Suddenly you start
experiencing severe pain in your
chest that starts to drag out into
your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only about five miles from
the hospital nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if
you'll be able to make it that far.
You have been trained in CPR, but
the guy that taught the course did
not tell you how to perform it on
yourself..!!
NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART
ATTACK WHEN ALONE..
Since many people are alone when
they suffer a heart attack, without
help, the person whose heart is
beating improperly and who
begins to feel faint, has only about
10 seconds left before losing
consciousness.
However, these victims can help
themselves by coughing repeatedly
and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken
before each cough, and the cough
must be deep and prolonged, as
when producing sputum from
deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be
repeated about every two seconds
without let-up until help arrives, or
until the heart is felt to be beating
normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the
lungs and coughing movements
squeeze the heart and keep the
blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the
heart also helps it regain normal
rhythm. In this way, heart attack
victims can get to a hospital.
