      Alone with a heart attack!

      A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it
to 10  people you can bet that we'll save at least one life. Read this...It
could  save your life!!

      Let's say it's 6:15 PM 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  K's 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 letup 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!!

      BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE TO AS MANY FRIENDS AS
POSSIBLE. I JUST DID.
