Guest guest Posted February 11, 2000 Report Share Posted February 11, 2000 Dear all, Just thought you might be interested in this data sent to me Best Wishes.... Penny HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK.......ALONE Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed in order. Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home, (alone of course) after an unusually 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 taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself. > > Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who > begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing > consciousness.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2000 Report Share Posted February 11, 2000 Excellent Penny, The only thing I might add is for anyone with a heart condition to always have a bottle of Cayenne Tincture on hand.
