I hope
everyone can send this on as it is really important for
everyone to know!
- Let’s say
it’s 7:25pm and you’re going home (alone of course)
after an unusually hard day on the job.
- You’re
really tired, upset and frustrated.
3.
Suddenly you
start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to
drag out into your arm and up in to your
jaw.
You are only
about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
4.
Unfortunately
you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that
far.
5.
You have
been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught 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 consciousness.
7.
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.
8.
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 to regain a
normal rhythm.
In this way,
heart attack victims can get help or to a hospital.
9.
Tell as many
other people as possible about this. It could save their
lives!
