HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE!!

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article
seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating
properly 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.
