NOT a JOKE--A MUST READ! 1 . Let's say it's
Post# of 5246
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 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
