- Imagine it’s 7:25 pm, and you’re heading home alone after an exceptionally challenging day at work.
- Exhausted, upset, and frustrated, suddenly you feel severe chest pain radiating down your arm and up to your jaw.
- You’re just about five kilometers from the nearest hospital to your home.
- Unfortunately, you’re uncertain if you can reach the hospital in time.
- Despite being trained in CPR, the instructor didn’t cover self-administration.
- “How to Survive a Heart Attack When Alone?” Given that many people face heart attacks solo, those feeling faint with irregular heartbeats have only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
- Victims can aid themselves by vigorously and repeatedly coughing. Take a deep breath before each cough, ensuring deep and prolonged coughs, similar to producing sputum deep within the chest. Repeat this process every two seconds until help arrives or the heart returns to a normal rhythm.
- Deep breaths bring oxygen to the lungs, while coughing movements squeeze the heart, maintaining blood circulation. The pressure on the heart helps it regain a normal rhythm, enabling heart attack victims to reach a hospital.
