Interesting thought
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.
You are really stressed and upset. 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.
What to do ?
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that conducted
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
What to do ?
ANSWER:
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 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
