When someone thinks they might be having a myocardial attack, most people freak out. After that, they pass out in a matter of seconds. Even though you only have a few seconds to act, the right move could save your life!

Don’t forget to call 911 first! When you get home from calling for help, you need to start coughing hard! The first thing you should do is call the ambulance! Then start coughing very hard. As you cough hard and deeply, as if you have tightness in your chest, and let out a longer breath.

This way of breathing could save your life, so make sure you know it and remember it. The method works like this: when you take deep breaths, oxygen gets into your lungs, and when you cough, you put pressure on your heart, which keeps the blood moving.

If you press on the heart in this way, the sinus beat will return to normal. This could save your life or the life of someone else. In that case, remember this and do what you can to keep yourself or someone else alive until the ambulance comes.
