HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK ALONE
From the desk of F. Daniel Rochman MD

If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save
at least one life. Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving 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 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't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to
tell you how to perform it on yourself.

Since many people are alone
when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without
help, the person whose heart stops 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, and a
cough must be repeated about every 2 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!
