How To Survive A Heart Attack When Alone

Wednesday 31 January 2007 @ 10:44 am

This is another informative article that is good to share:

Imagine a scenario: It’s 6.15pm and you’re driving home alone after an unusually hard day of the job. You’re really tired, stressed out 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 five miles way from the hospital.

Unfortunately, you don’t know whether you’ll be able to make it there. You have been trained in CPR but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself. 

HOW DO YOU SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

A deep breath should be taken before each cough, the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Health Standing Stool

Monday 29 January 2007 @ 9:03 am

Nooooooo….this is not an advert. The hubby bought this from one of his clients. They had to order this stool from China. Here’s the pic:

What you need to do is stand on it for 5-10 minutes each day and it is supposed to help cure:

  • muscle pain
  • sprain injuries
  • tiredness
  • serves as an acupuncture therapy
  • helps with blood circulation
  • weight management

The angle of this stool can be changed from 15 degrees to 45 degrees. It is made of wood and looks very simple. I cannot vouch for the effectiveness yet as hubby has just started using it. I’ll keep you guys posted.




My Most Embarassing Moment Year 2006

Friday 26 January 2007 @ 3:49 pm

I thought I should start a little humour on this blog featuring myself. Lol. Not out of vanity but I’ve always believed that we should be able to laugh at ourselves even though we may be the laughing stock! This post is extracted from my mommy blog and some may recall reading if you have followed my blog since then.

What a way to start a Monday! It was raining this morning, so that gave me an excuse to eat something hot & spicy again :) Happily, I drove to my favourite outlet to tapau (pack food). I have this lazy attitude….you see, I’m short sighted and only wear spectacles when I drive. Contact lenses refuse to have anything to do with my eyes, except to make them itch everytime I tried them. As I was passing my order to the See Tau Poh, I happened to glance at a couple sitting nearby. For a nanosecond, I thought the guy looked familiar and he had this expression on his face like he knew me. Absent mindedly, I nodded in his direction and just then, it hit me that I had mistakenly thought he was someone else! In that same split second, the girlfriend or wife (I assumed) was staring daggers at me, probably wondering “WTF is she?” Die or not, you say?

I was too embarassed with my own mistake and quickly turned my back on them. After getting my food, I hastily paid for it & walked off in the opposite direction where my car was parked. Aiyo, I am still feeling so bad for the guy. I can just imagine him denying any allegations from the partner that he knew me “Nolah dear, I don’t know herlah. I swear, she probably mistake me for somebody else or she probably hiau hiau onelah, attracted to me…bla bla bla”.
What excuse should I use this time? Blame it on old age?
