I hope everyone can send this on as it is really important for everyone to know!



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 t hat 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 to regain a normal rhythm.

In this way, heart attack victims can get help or 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 email, & 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 email which can save a person's life....



12. If this message comes around to you .......more than once.....please don't get irritated.....U need to be happy that you have many friends who care about you & you are being reminded of how to tackle....Heart attacks.... when you are alone.




 

You can thump on your chest, too. But coughing is better.
I read about this a couple of years ago. Thanks for passing it on!
 

Also...did you know when you have that hum/ringing in your ears that lasts a couple of seconds? It means your brain is trying to repair itself because something is wrong.

This is interesting. Would there be a link to read more on that?
 
I read it somewhere on the vast interwebs. Maybe try googling it? When I get that hum/ringing, I thump my head lightly. Might be a vein blockage...knock that sucker loose! It stops it, too, lol.
