HEART ATTACK.!!!

Heart attack is responsible for 17,3 million deaths per year.

SAVE YOURSELF

Let's pretend it's 6:30 and you leave the office to go home. You're particularly tired, upset, frustrated after a hard day.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest and moving down your arm and up to your jaw. Obviously you suspect a heart attack.

You feel so feint that you won't reach you car. You are an experienced first aider, and trained to perform CPR, but not on yourself. You ask yourself in a panic : what now??

THERE IS AN ANSWER

Since many people are alone when suffering a heart attack,they have about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

The victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly. Breathe deeply before each cough. Try to prolong the cough.

A breath and a cough must be repeated every 2 seconds without letting up. If a shallow breath is all you can manage, just keep on coughing.!

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart. The squeezing pressure also helps it to regain normal rhythm.
By doing this victims can get help quickly.

Cough, cough and more coughing. This is lifesaving knowledge. Tell as many people as possible about this procedure. Many lives could be saved!.
