How To Survive A Heart Attack When You Are Alone?? by Ijeleigbo(m): 11:30pm On May 05, 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!!
A cardiologist says If everyone who sees this post
shares it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save
at least one life..
