You are only few miles from the hospital nearest to your home.WHAT TO DO...?Since many people are alone when thy 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 conscious.Do not panic, but start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up untill help arrives or untill 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.ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON No.240 OF JOURNAL OF GENERAL HOSPITAL ROCHESTER. I hope that this will be helpful to the members. It will be my great pleasure if this really helps someone. However, if you have any doubt/querry about the information given above, please ask your doctor...Do not just ignore heart pain.
