Attention - Here's a real life-saving heart tip.
What to do when you are alone and have a heart attack.
Imagine you are driving somewhere after a hard days work or on your way to a very important meeting, and you are alone.
You get caught up in heavy traffic.
So much so that you start feeling irritable and you feel nervous.
Suddenly you feel this blinding excruciating pain in your chest and it is spreading towards your arms.
Signs of a heart attack - no doubt! You all of a sudden realize that you are quite a distance from your home, your work or the nearest hospital.
There is nobody close by to help you with CPR-(How many people really know how to apply CPR?) Most people have heart attacks when they are alone and then they do not know what to do.
In severe cases you can lose consciousness in a matter of only 10 seconds, if you are not quick enough to do something.
What to do in these circumstances: Don't panic.
Take deep breath and cough vigorously, from deep inside your chest, every two seconds.
This might hurt quite a bit, but keep-on saying to yourself that this is the only way.
Keep coughing this way until you get help or can make it to the hospital.
Why should you cough? *Coughing "squeezes " the heart and the contraction causes the heart to pump blood-if your heart wanted to stop.
(Simulates CPR) *Coughing allows oxygen to flow to the lungs (Simulates CPR) *Coughing restores the rhythm of the heart.
Now here is an excellent health tip that EVERYONE should take at HEART as this very same method saved my life.
Heart problems should not be taken lightly and the more you know about it, the better your chances of prolonging your life.
