How to survive a Heart Attack alone?

**Rahul** · 12-05-2005, 01:55 AM

Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving 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 yourchest 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. What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order.

Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has onlyabout 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. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. And a cough must be repeated about every 2 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. This way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

Let me contribute

A heart attack occurs when the heart muscle fails due to a blockage of a coronary artery. These arteries contain the bloods vessels that give the heart muscles blood and oxygen. Because the heart muscle is unable to receive blood and oxygen is produces chest pains. If within 30 minutes blood flow does not begin irreversible damage will occur to the heart muscle, resulting in scar tissue. Depending on the degree of heart attack, surgery might be an option to repair the scar tissue damage.

The main cause of Heart Attacks is a build up of cholesterol in the arteries. This is a gradual process that takes time for it to accumulate to a dangerous level. However, about 1 million people had heart attacks last year; therefore, it is imperative to have regular check ups to insure a healthy heart. Heart Attacks could lead to fatality; it is never too soon to start preventative Heart Attack measures.
