YOU ARE REALLY STRESSED AND UPSET ….
YOU ARE REALLY STRESSED AND UPSET ….
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain 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 WHAT TO DO ??? ???
YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN CPR, BUT THE GUY THAT CONDUCTED 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 CONSCIOUS
WHAT TO DO ?? WHAT TO DO ??
ANSWER:
DO NOT PANIC, BUT START COUGHING REPEATEDLY AND VERY VIGOROUSLY. A DEEP BREATH SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE EACH COUGH, 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 !!!
DON'T EVER IT COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES !!!
DON'T EVER THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT PRONE TO HEART THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT PRONE TO HEART ATTACK AS YOUR AGE IS LESS THAN 25 OR ATTACK AS YOUR AGE IS LESS THAN 25 OR 30. NOWADAYS DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE 30. NOWADAYS DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE LIFE STYLE, HEARTATTACK IS FOUND AMONG LIFE STYLE, HEARTATTACK IS FOUND AMONG PEOPLE OF ALL AGE GROUPS.

Hey, I found your blog from DIGG and just wanted to add a few corrections.
Cough CPR is a myth derrived from a chain email in the mid 90s. Coughing during arrythmia is occasionally done when the patient is on a monitor, and the arrythmia is not life threatening, and it's a Cardiologist thing - its never done in an emergency setting and can actually be harmful because it increases the stress on the heart and it's demand for oxygen. If you're alone and you feel faint, immediately lay down on your back and put your feet higher than your head, and attempt to dial 911. Most 911 centers can get the address where the call is located at, and if there is no response, they will send Police and EMS.
Hyperventilation is also bad. You don't want to force yourself to hyperventillate in a suspected heart attack for several reasons. Hyperventillation doesn't increase the amount of oxygen that is taken up by the blood stream - the only way to do that is to administer oxygen. Instead, it forces you to blow off more CO2 - which is not the problem. What that does is forces your heart to beat faster, and increases the stress response which can constrict blood vessels and make the pain and lack of blood flow causing a heart attack worse. The best thing to do is try to breathe as normal as possible.
If you think you or someone you know is having a heart attack - you've got unexplained dizzyness, nausea/vomiting, left arm or jaw pain, right arm or middle back pain, burning or squeezing chest pain that isn't changed by breathing or inactivity/rest, or shortness of breath, the best thing to do is:
*Stay calm and do not panic. You can't help anyone if you panic, and you may make things worse.
*Either immediately call 911 or send someone to do so. Waiting is the main reason people die as the damage done depends on the time you wait.
*If you have it available and someone who is trained, send them to get an AED and/or Oxygen.
*Give the 911 dispatcher as much information as possible.
*Follow the 911 dispatcher's instructions - if they say to give asprin and the person doesn't have an allergy, do it.
*Don't give anything to eat or drink unless instructed to - depending on the paramedic's findings, you may end up going straight to the cath lab for intervention.
*Tell the EMT and Paramedic that arrive everything you have done.
*STAY CALM. Don't Panic.
thanks for the corrections. Hope this could be useful..
