What most people do when they suspect myocardial infarction is - panic! Then, in just a few seconds they fall unconscious. Although you have just a couple of seconds to react, the right reaction can potentially save your life!
Remember to call an ambulance first! After you’ve called professional help you need to start coughing forcefully!
First, don’t forget to call the ambulance! Then, start coughing forcefully. Cough strong and deep like you have congestion in your chest, extending the exhale. This breathing technique can save your life, so make sure you understand and remember it.
Here’s how the technique works - you’re actually sending oxygen into your lungs by taking deep breaths, and by coughing, you put pressure on the heart which keeps the blood circulation flowing. Pressing the heart in this way will normalize the sinus rhythm, giving you a chance to save your or someone else’s life.
Remember this if you ever find yourself in such a situation, and try to keep yourself or someone else alive until the ambulance arrives.
Check out the video below to see how to do this breathing technique properly.
