Heart attack -what you need to do yourshelf?

Dear All,
Please 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 that
taught the course did not tell you how to perform
it on yourself.
6 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
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……U need to
be happy that you have many friends who care
about you & being reminded of how to
tackle….Heart attacks….AGAIN…
