Let’s say its 6:15 pm and you’re driving home alone after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tried and frustrated…..Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw…
You are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home, unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far…. What to do???
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that conducted the course did not tell you how to perform it in your self…
How to survive 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 begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness… What to do?
Do not panic, but start coughing repeatedly and vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, the cough must be deep and prolong, 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 helps 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.
