Surviving Heart Attack when Alone

Research has shown there is something you can do for yourself if heart spasm comes a calling. Leading cardiologists agree, that if everyone who reads this then tells 10 people, and those ten tell another ten ad infinitum, odds are we'll save someone.

So read this... it could be your life!!!

It's 7:47pm and it has been a big day, a confronting day! An unusually difficult day on the job you could say. You stretch out your arms to alleviate the tension in the shoulders (forgetting to breathe out as you extend your reach) and you suddenly start to experience severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arms and up into your jaw.

Am I having a heart attack?

You’ve been trained in CPR, but the teacher who taught the course, didn’t impart how to perform it on yourself. As many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, a person whose heart is beating improperly and through lack of oxygen begins to feel faint, has barely 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

The research discovered that people experiencing these symptoms of heart attack, could significantly improve their chances of survival by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

The deep breaths get the oxygen into the lungs and the coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm so you can call for help or you can get to a hospital.

So when you read this, share it with your friends! You don’t know whose life it could save.
