What to do if you are have a heart attach
          And you are alone!
 
(not to be taken as advice from a doctor-
Ask your doctor what to do -this is an extract
From Rochester hospital journal - no liability assumed or implied)
 
Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course)
After an unusually hard day on the job.
You're really tired, and frustrated……
 
You are really stressed and upset.
 
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 five miles from the hospital nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far
 
What to do ???
 
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that conducted 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 conscious
 
What to do ??
 
Answer:
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 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
