How to survive a heart attack when alone

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attacked, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 second left before losing conscious.

WHAT TO DO?

• Do not panic, but start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

• A deep breath should be taken before each cough, the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from inside the chest.
  

• A breath and a cough must be repeated, about every two second let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths gets oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.The squeezing pressure on the heart also help it regain normal rhythm, in this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital
