[Mb-hair] Fw: Heart Attack

[Doris J. Brook]

So you can do CPR on yourself by coughing hard, huh?  Well that sort sets off the old skeptic-meter, and sure enough, a quick trip to www.truthorfiction reveals that this is....a Fiction!  (see link: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/h/heartattack.htm).  So, please, don't anybody pass this stuff on to ten other people.

      From F. Daniel Rochman MD

      If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

      Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving 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.

      WHAT CAN YOU DO?

      You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly 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 every 2 seconds .

      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, and a cough must be repeated about every 2 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.

      BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE!!!
