A heart attack can happen toanyone Let’s say it’s 5:20 pm and you’re driving home alone after an unusuallyhard day on the job You’re really tired, upset and frustrated Suddenly, youstart experiencing terrible pains in your chest, and they spread to your armand up into your jaw You are only about five miles from the hospital which isnearest your home Unfortunately, you don’t know if you’ll be able to make itthat far You’ve been trained in a CPR course, but the guy who teaches thecourse hasn’t told you how to perform it on yourself What can you do?

    Since many people are alone when they suffera heart attack, this article seems to be quite useful Without help, people whosehearts stop beating properly and who begin to feel faint (头晕的) have only about 10seconds left before they faint However, they can help themselves by coughingover and over very loudly A deep breath should be taken before each cough, andthe cough must be deep and prolonged, coming from inside the chest Deep breathsand coughing must be repeated about every two seconds without stopping untilhelp arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again Deepbreaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze (挤压) the heart and keep the blood circulating The squeezing pressure onthe heart also helps it beat normally In this way, people who are suffering aheart attack can get to a phone and between breaths call for help
