Surviving A Heart Attack
|
| What if someone was
having a heart attack, and there was no one was around to help? The person whose heart was beating improperly and who was beginning to feel faint would have about 10 seconds to do something before he or she loses consciousness! That person can help himself by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. He or she would also need to take a deep breath before each cough. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as it would be when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. The breath and cough must be repeated about every two seconds without letup until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. In this way, the heart attack victim can get to a hospital. The deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs, and coughing squeezes the heart and keeps the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. |
