Plus how to survive a heart attack when alone
This comes from Dr. Patrick Teefy, Cardiology Head at the Nuclear Medicine Institute University Hospital, London Ont.
- Let’s say it’s 7:25 pm and you’re going 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 drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
- But you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.
- You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?
The person whose heart is beating improperly, and who begins to feel faint, has very little time left before losing consciousness.
- Start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
- Stop the car and dial 000.
- A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, just like 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.
Not easy to do when in frightening pain.
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 to regain a normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get help or to a hospital.
Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!
A cardiologist says: “If everyone who gets this advice & kindly sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that it will save one or more lives.
Please pass this around to your friends and relatives, it may save their life one day.
If it happens to you, the actions hopefully may help to calm you in those stressful moments.
