Experts Say…
Let's say it's 6..15p m 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
spread 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.
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. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It
could save their lives!!
A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people,
you can bet that we'll save at least one life.
