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 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 phone and, between breaths,
call for
help. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save
their
lives!
