HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer
a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. 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 very 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!
