How To Survive A Heart Attack When You Are Alone by Dolakinz(m): 11:09pm On Jun 25, 2013
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 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 hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could
save their lives!! Some People die of this. If everyone who sees this post tells others about it, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.. Pls save a life...
