Hi friends,
Let’s say it’s 6.15 pm and you’re driving home(alone of course) after
an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, and
frustrated.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.
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did
not tell you how to perform it on yourself. 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
conscious. However, these victims can help themselves by 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 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! Don’t
ever think that you are not prone to heart attack if your age is less than
25 or 30. Nowadays due to the change in the life style, heart attack is
found among people of all age groups.
