May 1, 2006Cough CPR: It could save your life!
Everyone knows that some of the risk factors for a heart attack are obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Mind you, fully half of all heart victims have absolutely NO advance warning symptoms they experience is the actual heart attack.. *Chills! But wait! Before you think about it. Fret not!
Just recently, I received an e-mail from my Auntie Fely. It was an article from Health Cares, Rochester General Hospital via Chapter 240s Newsletter "And the Beat goes on". Reprint from the Mended Hearts, Inc. publication, Heart Responses. It would be helpful. It’s not only while you are driving. But it also applies to whereever you are. Here it goes..
What are you to do if you have a heart attack while you are alone?
The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this and did an in-depth study in our ICU. The two individuals that discovered this then did an article on it. Had it published and have even had it incorporated into ACLS and CPR classes.
It is very true and has and does work. It is called cough CPR. A cardiologist says it’s the truth..
For your info Read this..
Let’s say its 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 CPR but the guy that thought 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 perso whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left befor loding 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 very two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many other peole as possible about this, It could save their lives…Go!!!

ganun lang yun, tapos you're almost free from harm? tnx for the info anyways. 
What a coincidence?! Guess what bro nag ggym ako ngayon ‘cause I noticed na ang laki ng tinaba ko… honestly ang laki talaga… eh may asthma pa naman ako so medyo ingat ako sa mga pagtaba… galing ha… this will force me to put more effort sa pagpapayat ko…
Honestly bro first two paragraphs ng entry mo ay wala akong naintindihan… so I asked my sister about his ‘cpr’ thing… according to her yun daw yung counterpart sa mga unconscious… kasi diba sa unconscious (*at feeling doctor ako! Lol) cpr daw ang ginagamit ‘cause unconscious nga sila… pero once you’re awake and feeling nahihirapang huminga or mag kakaheart attack… you can do the cough cpr… and yun yung topic mo right… it’s simply pag-cough so magbebeat ng malakas yung heart… *forgot the exact words na sinabi ni ate pero yun yung naintindihan ko… just inform me kung mali
Very informative entry! Liked it lalo na sa mga nagpapapayat! At isa na ako dun! also kailangan kong magpapapayat pang dagdag ng pogi points sa mga girls! *lol God bless bro!
