Basic first aid actions that can help in the event of a heart attack: 3 important recommendations

Technique 1: Strong, controlled cough

This technique helps maintain circulation and stimulate the heart when symptoms begin.

How to do it:

  1. Take a deep breath.
  2. Shut up.
  3. Cough from your chest, forcefully, as if you want to expel something stuck.
  4. Repeat every 2 seconds for 1 minute.

Why it works:

Coughing creates pressure inside the chest, pushing blood into the heart and brain, which can help maintain the heart rhythm.

Common mistakes:

  • Coughing lightly
  • Do not inhale before
  • Losing the rhythm

Technique 2: Precise Punch in the Center of the Chest

It is used when the cough is no longer enough and the dizziness is severe.

How to do it:

  1. He makes a fist.
  2. Place the center of the breast, between the nipples.
  3. Use the bottom of your fist.
  4. Strike with firm, dry force, once per second, 5 or 6 times.

Why it works:

Part of the heart’s electrical system passes through this area. The impact can help restart the rhythm when there is a severe arrhythmia.

Precautions:

  • Do not hit too hard
  • Do not do it more than 6 times
  • Do not use if fractures or injuries are present
