Heart Attack: Heart attack is often fatal. In case of a heart attack, doctors advise to give first aid to the patient and take him to the hospital immediately. If seen, the patient can get some relief on the spot through CPR and first aid, but it becomes necessary to take him to the hospital. For the last few days, a post is going viral on social media in which it is being said that in case of a heart attack, the patient can save his life by coughing loudly.
This process is also called cough CPR. But is it really like this? If this is true then what do doctors say in this regard? Let us know what is the truth of this claim being made on social media regarding heart attack.
Can coughing loudly save a heart attack?
Absolutely not, this is a false and misleading claim. Doctors say that there is no such thing as cough CPR. Coughing loudly during a heart attack cannot save the patient's life. Nor can breathing fast be of any use. Doctors say that there is no medical term like CPR that can save the patient's life.
Let us tell you that in the said viral post it was said that if there is pain in the chest or pain in the jaw, then it could be a heart attack. During this time, if no one is present to help, then the person should cough loudly and take deep breaths. By doing this, the lungs will get oxygen and life can be saved.
What should be done in case of a heart attack?
Let us tell you that earlier another post went viral on social media, in which it was said that eating ginger can save lives in case of a heart attack. Doctors advise that one should not blindly trust any such claim. Heart attack is a serious condition. During this time, before believing and believing anything heard, the patient should be given CPR by a trained person. It should be given and if possible, he should be taken to the hospital immediately.
