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. 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. 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. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could
save their lives. Truth or false this is something that is very easy to do and
that might just safe our lives.
Very interesting. I'm willing to try it if it happens to me. What would I have to lose at that point anyway.
ReplyDeleteVery impressing post kept me reading from beginning to end. I didn't know a deep breath could be so much help.
ReplyDeleteThis is very helpful information, it could save a person's life, and should be announced on TV.
