HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE

Please pause for 2 minutes and read this and then share it:

Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard and frustrating day at work. ...
You’re feeling really tired, upset and frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pains in your chest that starts to drag out and into your arm and up in to your jaw.

You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home, but unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far, however you have been trained in CPR, but you weren’t taught how to perform it on yourself, damn it !!

SO, HOW CAN YOU 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 then feel faint, well they have only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. But these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

And here’s how to do it : -

Take a deep breath before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside your chest. Keep on ever repeatedly doing this every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until you feel your heart is beating normally again.

The reason why this can work is because 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 reads this post shares it, you can bet at least one life will be saved!

A couple of months ago, I was in the cardiac ward because of heart failure. While I was there, I asked about what I should do in this very situation, they told me to thump myself in the middle of my chest as hard as I could.

This is supposed to shock the heart back into rhythm, it's based on the precordial thump which can be delivered to someone who is having a heart attack.

Coughing could work as it moves the chest muscles.

I would try everything no matter how strange it seemed if my heart stopped!!
