PS: On rechecking the source for authenticity of
the Article I found the following information from
American Heart Association::
"The AHA explains on its Web site, “During a sudden arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), it maybe possible for a conscious, responsive person to cough forcefully and maintain enough blood flow to the brain to remain conscious for a few seconds until the arrhythmia disappears or is treated. . . . This has been mislabeled ‘cough CPR,’ although it’s not a form of traditional resuscitation.” The AHA does not endorse this method nor does it teach it as part of any core curriculum. The organization adds that the only appropriate setting for this type of response is limited to “monitored patients with a witnessed arrest” already in the hospital.
So what should you really do if you’re alone and you experience signs of a heart attack? The AHA says that “if you’re driving alone and you start having severe chest pain or discomfort that starts to spread into your arm and up into your jaw (the scenario presented in the Internet article), pull over and flag down another motorist for help or phone 911 on a cellular telephone.”
Perhaps Doctors in the Tamil Brahmins Forum can shed more light on this important subject.
