HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE.... Must Share
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 (8kms) 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.
