How to Survive heart attack when alone

Let's say it's 6.15p m and you're going home (alone of course), after an
unusually hard day on the job.

You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing
severe pain in your chest that starts to adiate out into your arm and up into
your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. 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.

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 gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you
can bet that we'll save at least one life.
