I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but I was never told this…
What do you do when you're alone and have a heart attack?
Here’s an important post that can’t be shared often enough:
Take a 2-minute break and read this:
Let’s say it’s 5:25 pm, and you're driving home after an unusually hard day at work. You’re tired and frustrated. Suddenly, you feel a pain in your chest that starts to radiate down your arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You’re only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home, but unfortunately, you don’t know if you can make it.
Maybe you’ve taken CPR training, but the instructor never taught you how to help yourself in this situation.
So, how do you survive a heart attack when you’re alone? A person feeling weak and whose heart is beating erratically has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
But there is something you can do: cough repeatedly and very strongly. Take a deep breath before each cough, and repeat the coughing every second until you either reach the hospital or your heartbeat returns to normal.
Deep breathing gives your lungs oxygen, and the coughing stimulates the heart and boosts circulation. This pressure can help restore a normal heartbeat.
This is how cardiac arrest victims can survive long enough to receive the right treatment at the hospital.
Cardiologists say if you receive this message and pass it on to 10 people, we can save at least one life.
For women: It’s important to know that women often have different symptoms than men. They rarely experience crushing chest pain or arm pain. Instead, they may have indigestion, tightness across the back at the bra line, and sudden fatigue.

@NowThenSunshine Just read your tweets about The Queue! It was amazing, we also joined The the Queue on Friday 16th September at 7pm we then got to the end by 7.35am 12.5 hours but so worth it. My 7yr old son Peyton came with me. He did so well and bowed his head to the Queen, I’m so proud of him
Ps if you support the idea of the new PM joining me to discuss the cost of living, pls share the tweet ive just done about it (ie don't share this one, share the prior one inviting them 😊)
