Let's say it's 6:15 P.M. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an usually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
What can you do? You've been trained in C.P.R., but the guy that taught the course, didn't tell you what to do if it happened to yourself.
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack ,
this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person
whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint,
normally has 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every three seconds without let up, until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again, and pain subsides.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs, and coughing movements squeeze on the heart, and keeps the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can make it to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their life !

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm.
