HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE .......WHAT TO DO?

            All Veteran Brothers and  Members of their Families may kindly  GO THROUGH (READ) the following brief, sent by one of our WELL-WISHER , M RAVI (on 08 Sep 09) as circulated by our renowned VETERAN - PRABHJOT SINGH  for the benefit of all :-     

           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 radiate out into your arm and up 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 fainted, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. Howevever,

            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 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 ALSSO 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/info and sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life. Rather than sending routine mails, contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person's life....

            
           BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE, FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN
