When people suspect a myocardial infarction, their first reaction is often panic, which can quickly lead to unconsciousness. Although you have only a few seconds to react, the right actions can potentially save your life.

The first step is to call an ambulance! After that, start coughing forcefully. Coughing deeply and strongly, as if you are trying to clear congestion from your chest, can help keep your heart beating and maintain blood circulation.

Here’s why this technique works: by taking deep breaths, you send oxygen into your lungs, and by coughing, you apply pressure on your heart, helping to maintain blood flow and normalize your heart’s rhythm. This can be crucial in giving you or someone else a chance to survive until professional help arrives.
