What to do if you are alone when you have a Heart Attack

What to do if you are along when you have a heart attack

Here is a scenario:

You are driving by yourself. You experience very severe pain in your chest.You are a few miles away from the closest hospital, but you aren't sure youcan hold on that long.

You Know how to do CPR..But on someone else, not yourself.

Truth is..when you are having a heart attack, you don't have long before you lose consiousness.

You need to act quickly, but calmly. Panicking will only exacerbate things.

Here's what to do:

• Start coughing repeatedly.
• Be sure to take deep breaths before each cough.
• The cough has to be very deep and long.
• Keep up with the breathing and coughing every 2 seconds until help arrives.

The coughing helps to keep the blood circulating which helps the heart toget back into a normal rhythm.
