Health Tips On What To Do When Suffering A Hearth Attack

When emergency actions can you take if you are suffering a hearth attack and you are alone? Without immediate medical assistance, most people have very little time to react. If you find yourself in this situation and you have access to a telephone, immediately dial 911 and then try intentionally coughing deeply and vigorously. Before each cough, take a deep breath, and continue coughing about every two seconds until emergency help arrives. Deep breaths send oxygen to the lungs, and the sharp movements of the rib cage from coughing squeeze the heart muscle to help keep blood circulating. Even if the pain subsides and your heartbeat returns to what seems normal, you still must follow up with a medical professional to determine what treatment and lifestyle changes you require to maintain or improve your health.
