A heart attack can be very dangerous, even deadly. At this moment it is necessary to act immediately and give the person first aid in the form of cardiac massage. But what to do if you suffer a heart attack yourself and there is no help around you? Even in this case there is a trick that can help you until the ambulance arrives or you reach the emergency room.
No one can predict when or if a heart attack will occur, and it usually strikes people at the most unexpected moments. Doctors believe that a person has 10 seconds before losing consciousness or before their heart starts beating irregularly. Those are the seconds in which the person can help themselves.
This condition can be reversed if you start coughing forcefully! It may sound absurd, but there is a reason. Coughing helps the heart and maintains circulation in the body. The heart can thereby return from an abnormal rhythm back to normal. It is therefore important that the person takes a deep breath before each cough, and that the coughing comes from deep in the lungs. It is necessary to cough without interruption until the heart starts beating again or help arrives.
