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

Technique 3: EGU Point (Acupressure)

This point is located between the thumb and forefinger. It helps reduce anxiety, improve circulation and stabilize heart rate.

How to do it:

  1. Locate the soft spot between your thumb and forefinger.
  2. Press firmly for 5 seconds.
  3. Release 2 seconds.
  4. Repeat for 1 minute in each hand, breathing deeply.

Why it works:

It stimulates the nervous system, improves blood flow, and reduces stress, which helps the heart in a crisis.

What to do during a heart attack if you’re alone

  1. Cough hard for 1 minute.
  2. If the pain continues, apply the blow to the chest.
  3. Press the EGU point.
  4. Call 911 as soon as you can.
  5. If you’re dizzy, lie down to avoid a fall.
