Hereis some useful tips for all, 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 conscious.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?
Let's Say It's 6.15pm And You're Driving
Home (Alone Of Course) After An Unusually
Hard Day On The Job.You're Really Tired,
And Frustrated%u2026%u2026
YOU ARE REALLY STRESSED AND UPSET %u2026.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe
pain in your chest that starts to radiate
out into your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only five miles from the hospital
nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't
know if you'll be able to make it that
far.
NOW WHAT TO DO ??
Do not panic, but start coughing
repeatedly and very vigorously
A deep breath should be taken before each
cough, 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 oxygeninto 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.
