When a heart attack occurs, every second counts. What many don’t know is that 70% of heart attacks occur when the person is alone, and over 90% don’t reach the hospital in time. The heart can fail without warning, but if you know what to do in the first moments, your chances of survival increase significantly.
Science and experts agree on one thing: no drugs or equipment are needed; just stay calm and use simple emergency techniques. These maneuvers can help keep the heart beating while you wait for help or get to safety.
Below, you’ll learn three proven steps that could help you survive a heart attack when you’re alone. You can also see these techniques in the following video from the Healthy and Positive channel:
1. Use the “lifesaving cough” to stabilize your heart rate
When your heart begins to beat irregularly, it’s normal to feel dizzy, faint, break out in a cold sweat, or experience intense chest pressure. At that moment, a simple technique can buy you precious seconds: forceful, repeated coughing.
How to do it?
- Take a deep breath.
- Then cough forcefully, as if you’re trying to expel something trapped in your lungs.
- Repeat every 2 seconds, maintaining the rhythm.
This type of cough increases pressure in the chest and helps maintain blood flow to the brain. It’s not a cure, but it can keep blood flowing long enough to call for help or get to safety.
