Post Information:
Below post has been circulating on social media
This is from Dr. Geetha Krishnaswamy, Please give your 2min and read this:-1 Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.2 You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.4 Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.5 You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.6 HOW TO 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 onlyabout 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.7 However, these victims can help themselves by coughingrepeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and 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.8 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.9 Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!10 A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.11 Rather than sending jokes, please..contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life….12 If this message comes around you ……more than once…..please don’t get irritated……U need to be happy that you have many friends who care about you & being reminded of how to tackle….Heart attacks….AGAIN…From:DR.N Siva(Senior Cardiologist)Copy and paste…u might save lives :blush:Pl don’t mind repetition☺

Quoting from hoax-slayer article below.
It should be noted that the cough procedure outlined in the email is not, in itself, a hoax and has been researched and tested by medical experts. In fact, so called “Cough CPR” might be beneficial under certain controlled circumstances. However, this does not mean that the advice in the email message is valid and useful. The most important factor to consider is that, according to medical experts, cough CPR should only be performed under strict professional supervision.
The American Heart Association article also notes:
The American Heart Association does not endorse “cough CPR,” a coughing procedure widely publicized on the Internet. As noted in the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, “cough CPR” is not useful for unresponsive victims and should not be taught to lay rescuers.
