Как пережить сердечный приступ в одиночестве: главные правилаAnyone can be in such a situation.

It often happens that a heart attack happens to people when they are all alone and no one to help them.

If you suddenly feel that your heart was beating “wrong” and you are close to fainting, you have only about 10 seconds before you lose consciousness.

Meanwhile, all victims of heart attacks could help themselves. For this you need to start coughing many times and with great force. Each time before you cough, take a deep breath, the cough must be deep and prolonged, as if you otpravyat sputum deeply from his chest.

Breaths and a cough must be repeated every 2 seconds without breaks and stops, until the arrival of medical assistance, or until such time as the heart will not start beating in a normal rhythm.

A deep breath allows oxygen to penetrate into the lungs, and the cough of the movement “squeeze” the heart and make the blood circulate. This pressure on the heart also helps it to achieve its normal rhythm. Thus, victims of heart attacks get extra time to wait for doctors or to go to the hospital. Tell about it to as many people. It could save their life!

Cardiologists say that if each of us shared this information with 10 people, at least one life could be saved.
