HOW TO
SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE!
Since
many people are alone when they have a heart attack, without help, the person
whose heart beats incorrectly and who begins to faint has only about 10 seconds
before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by
coughing repeatedly and vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each
cough, and the cough should be deep, vigorous, and prolonged just as it occurs
inside the chest. A breath and cough should be repeated every two seconds
without stopping until help arrives or until you feel that the heart is beating
normally. Deep breaths bring oxygen to the lungs and coughing movements put
pressure on the heart, which helps keep blood circulating. The compressive
pressure on the heart also helps restore normal rhythm. In this way, heart
attack victims can reach a hospital.
According
to doctors, the heart muscle needs oxygen to survive. If the blood flow in the
coronary arteries that nourish the heart is low, due to the accumulation of fat
and cholesterol, blocking them, unfortunately, a heart attack occurs.
Most
heart attacks start slowly. If you feel any of these symptoms, see a doctor
immediately:
1) Pain
and discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than five minutes. Or
if the latent pain comes and goes.
2) Pain
or discomfort may also be felt in the neck, back, arms, jaw and stomach.
3)
Difficulty breathing.
4) Cold
sweats and nausea.
How to
prevent a heart attack:
1) It is
recommended that from the age of 20, the person stops smoking. One year after
quitting smoking, the risk of having a heart attack is reduced by 50%.
2)
Exercise, at least 30 minutes a day at a light-moderate pace.
3) The
diet should be healthy, avoiding greasy foods. Consume plenty of mineral water,
green salads, vegetables, and fruits.
4)
Control your stress.
5) Keep
your weight and your cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure levels as normal
as possible.
6)
Danger lies in trust. Make an appointment with your doctor at least once a
year.
Food has
a lot to do with the prevention of diseases. Each human being is responsible
for staying healthy to have a long and more productive life. The State is
obliged to create the conditions for better jobs so that the population has
access to a better quality of life. Take care of yourself because no one will
do it for you.
