How to Survive a Heart Attack if You're Alone

While browsing through Facebook, I stumbled upon some excellent life saving advice. Sure, sure...if it's on Facebook then it MUST be true. *eyeroll* Whatevah. This advice, however, is pretty rock solid. We live in a time of continual stress, pressure, anxiety, etc. (Say no more about that. It's like preaching to the choir, right?) Many of us are in the risk category for heart attacks and may or may not be aware of it--this also includes "younger people" (I feel old saying that). COVID-19 and all the other, well, crap floating around, don't help matters much, do they?

I'm not a doctor so if you want to ask your doctor first, then I recommend doing so. However, it does look pretty on par with first aid and life saving tips.

You never know when advice like this could save yourself, a friend, family member or stranger!


How to Survive a Heart Attack if You're Alone

  • Let’s say it’s 7:25pm and you’re going home (alone, of course) after an unusually long, hard day on the job.

  • You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.
 
  • 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 5 miles from the hospital nearest your home.
 
  • Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far...
 
  • You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

  • CALL 911, UNLOCK YOUR DOOR, CHEW AN ASPIRIN. Then...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

Love you all!! 🤍🤎💜💚💙🧡💛🖤❤️
