Question
REMEMBER THIS IS TEMPORARY, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU MAY BE HAVING A HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!
*HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE*
Since many people are alone when they suffer a
heart
attack, this article seemed in order. Without help,
the person whose heart
stops beating properly and who begins to feel
faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing
con-
sciousness. 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 begins 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!
