An Important Message For All:

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 let- up 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.

Im not a Doctor nor I dont know how to help anyone with heart attack except rush them to the hospital near by,but if his alone,i dont know too......so accourding to My search VIA GOOGLE.......(honesty is the best policy) /smiley

I found the solution coz its written there lol.......

What to do
1

Recognize heart attack symptoms. Shortness of breath, pain or pressure in the chest, and pain in the neck or radiating down the arms are all associated with an attack.
2

Pull over if you suffer an attack while driving. You may only have seconds before you lose consciousness. Don't try to drive to the hospital no matter how close you are.
3

Call 911 and describe what symptoms you're feeling and where you are located.
4

Take an aspirin (325 mg) at the first sign of an attack. Aspirin makes blood platelets less likely to stick to each other, assisting blood flow and reducing clots. Chew it up if no drink is readily available . the time and oxygen you waste in waiting to get a sip of something isn't worth it when you're acutely symptomatic.
5

Take a beta-blocking drug immediately upon feeling an attack. This is a prescription-only drug; if you have a heart condition, you probably already have this medication.
6

Administer oxygen to yourself. You are likely to have bottled oxygen available only if you have a diagnosed heart condition.
7

Thump yourself on the chest as hard as possible. This is very effective when administered by someone else but can be hard to do to yourself......... /smiley

Nice topic, one of important things is try to calm down, the one who suffer a heart attack is frightened and start to panic, because the only thing that will go through one's mind is that he may die..
