Hear Attack
-----------

Let's say it's 6.15 pm and u are driving home (alone of course) after anunusually hard day on the job. you are really tired, andfrustrated.........You are really stressed and upset.....Suddenly you start experiencingsevere pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and upinto your jaw.you are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunatelyyou don't know if you will be able to make it that far.

What to Do:-
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that conducted the course did nottell u how to perform it on yourself!!!How to survive a heart attack when alone?Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help,they person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint,has only about 10 seconds left before losing conscious
Answer:-------

Do not panic, but start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.A deep breath should be taken before each cough, the cough must be deep andprolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds withoutlet-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beatingnormally again.Deep breaths get OXYGEN into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze theheart and keep the bloor CIRULATING. The squeezing pressure on the heartalso helps it regain normal rhythm.
In this way, heart attack victims canget to a hospital.Tell as many other people as possible about this.........

It could save their lives!!! Don't ever think that you are not prone toheart attack as your age is less than 25 or 30. Nowadays due to the changein the lifestyle, heart attack is found among people of all age groups.
