FIRST AID PROCEDURE ON YOURSELF UPON HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE": (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to
be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake
up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.
Let's be careful and be aware.
The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10
people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read
this... It could save your life!!

Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're driving home .
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. You have been
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 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 consciousness. However,
these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very
vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, 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.
