Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:
1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.
2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.
3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.
5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
6. How to survive a heart attack if you are 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.
7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and 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.
8. 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.
9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.
11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.
12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.

A friend sent this to me on Facebook.I think it is very good.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

That is truly amazing. It would be interesting to hear testimonies from individuals who used this technique. I'm going to copy this now and share it. Thanks for sharing with the Fusion Cash family. It was refreshing to have something enlightening to contribute and interact with this morning.

Thanks very much for this post old buddy - I was unaware that deep breaths and coughs could help during a heart attack. I was told to focus on calling 911 as fast as possible when you feel a serious health problem occurring. But there is no guarantee that help will arrive in time, or that you'll have time to explain your problem and state your location before you lose consciousness. This realistic advice is 100% definitely worth sharing - I might print it out and post it on bulletin boards, maybe even have it printed in my school newspaper. It's well worth the effort if I can save a life.
One thing to improve: what is the source of this information? People may not believe it without a reputable source link.

Thank you for sharing, this was very helpful information to have; I have not seen it posted anywhere before everyone can use this and pass on to family and friends.

Thank you for sharing . Sometimes I get a little stressed out in my work but I have learned to leave it at the job and not bringing it home :)

Honestly if I ever need it, the least of my concerns will be if it's true or not. It can't hurt (even if it's not true) and if it works that will be proof enough for me.

I read that a while back but thanks for the refresh.
-
What a great and useful post. Thanks for the info

I have heard this before. I was a certified instructor in CPR and first aid and it's the truth. I haven't thought about it lately, however, and I'm very pleased you brought it up. Many simple things, if you know them, can save your life.
I went right to this post since it was from oldbuddy. I knew it would be good. Thanks.

I think that makes sense. I will park that information in the back of my mind for future reference.
-
Thanks for the info: I have copied, pasted and sent to family and friends.
-
I have heart issues, so this is of particular interest to me. Thanks!!
-
Thank you for very important information every one should knowl
-
I'm at an age where this will not be a problem for several decades, but I will still keep this in mind because it is important to know.
-
Thanks for the info, Old Buddy. Good to know!
-
I farted.
-
Thanks for the information, I will be posting it to friends and family.
-
Thanks for sharing the steps to take should a person alone feel the start of a heart attack, oldbuddy.
I wasn't aware that deep coughing and deep breaths could help. 10 seconds before losing consciousness is hardly enough time to grab a phone and dial 911, so taking these steps hopefully will give the person more time.
Also having baby aspirin handy or just taking it nightly could really help.
-
Thanks good information to know.
-
Wow thank you!!
-
Thanks for the valuable information. I copied and already send to many of my family and friends.
-
Thanks Buddy! It's always good to know how to help yourself in circumstances such as that.
-
Thanks Oldbuddy, I just emailed it to people I know, even my Pastor.
-
I read this info some time ago. Very valuable info to know!!
-
Thank you for sharing, sounds like very helpful advice that could save a life, I will send it to my friends.
-
this sounds good
-
Thanks for the information I will have to remember this for just in case
-
It makes perfect sense, you're making your own personal crash cart, in a sense. The heart needs a heavy jolt because it is out of rhythm. Strong, forceful coughing simulates just that.
I'm bookmarking this page right now. Thanks for the great reminder.
-
this is good to be rmeinded about since i am usually alone while driving
-
Sure you might be right that it could save my life.

Sounds good but what if that is not the problem? 8)
