PSA!!
Self-CPR during a heart attack. Please take two minutes of your time and read this:*
1. Let's say it's 7:25 PM, and you're heading home (alone, of course) after an especially tough day at work.
2. You're really tired, agitated, and frustrated.
3. Suddenly, you start experiencing severe chest pain. The pain continues down your arm and up to your jaw. You're about 5 km away from the nearest hospital.
4. Unfortunately, you don't know if you'll be able to make it there.
5. You're trained in performing CPR, but the person who taught you didn't explain how to do it on yourself.
6. How to survive a heart attack when you're alone? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack and the heart's rhythm becomes incorrect, leading to weakness, there are only 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing forcefully and repeatedly. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as if trying to produce phlegm from deep within the chest. Breathe and cough (repeat this every two seconds without stopping) until help arrives or until you feel the heart beating normally again.
8. Deep breaths bring oxygen into the lungs, and coughing movements press on the heart and maintain blood circulation. The action of pressing on the heart helps it return to its regular rhythm. This way, heart attack victims can reach the hospital.
9. Tell as many people as possible. You can save lives!
10. A cardiologist says that if everyone who receives this message sends it to 10 people, we can save a life at least once.
11. Instead of sending jokes, please... contribute by passing on this message, which can save a person's life.
12. If this message reaches you... more than once... please don't be upset... instead, be glad that you have many friends who care about you.
Hold your finger on the message and pass it on...copy & paste
