EVERYONE MUST KNOW THIS
Let's say it's 6.15p m and you're going home (alone of
course), after an unusually hard day on the job.
You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your
chest that starts to adiate out into your arm and up
< B>into your jaw. You are only about five 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 that taught the
course did not tell you 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,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!!

A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail
sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at
least one life. BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE SEND

Recovering from a heart attack can be a long process, requiring you to make big changes in your life. You may need to change how you eat, begin a new exercise program, take new medicines, and visit your doctor on a regular basis. However, these treatments can help to lower your risk of having another heart attack, reduce your risk of death from heart disease, and often increase your ability to exercise and be active.

Nice post, but along with this physical exercise and fruit juice are also quite important to get rid of heart disease.
