HOW TO SAVE YOUR SELF FROM HEART ATTACK

Dear AllHope this is usefull mail...Find a time to read it; it's a matter of your life.Let's say it's 6.15 pm 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 yourchest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don'tknow if you'll be able to make it that far. You havebeen 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 ALONESince many people are alone when they suffer a heartattack, 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 coughingrepeatedly 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 deepinside the chest.A breath and a cough must be repeated about every twoseconds without let-up until help arrives, or untilthe heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughingmovements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart alsohelps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as manyother people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mailsends it to your friends , you can bet that we'll save at least one life.
