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 consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing
repeatedly, and very vigorously. A deep breath should be
taken before each cough, 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!!
