In our troubled, extremely unstable time, full of "stress and passion", no one is immune from heart attacks, heart attacks and strokes. And it is important to promptly help a person in this difficult moment so that the matter does not end in disrepair. After all, there are many cases when a fatal outcome occurred only due to the fact that others did not know what to do and what to do.
Perhaps someone will say that you need to act simply: call an ambulance and do nothing else. And it really is, if the ambulance arrives quickly, as it should. And if it is delayed? And if we are talking about a patient from a remote village, who will wait and wait for an ambulance? In addition, many are so lost that they even forget to call the ambulance. It happens...
And it happens that a person is alone when he feels bad. And what should he do in this case? It would be nice to know about this in advance, to confirm it "as a drill regulations." Otherwise, nothing will come to mind at the right moment.
Heart attack: what to do?
So, first, let's deal with emergency measures for a heart attack.
If you, your loved one or even a complete stranger have acute chest pain, you should immediately sit down (sit the person) and lower your feet to the floor. It doesn't matter whether you were standing in front of it or lying down, it is important to definitely sit down! This is necessary to reduce the burden on the heart. As soon as the victim sits down, the blood stream will rush to his legs, and the heart will feel lighter.
Next, it is necessary to provide the patient with an influx of fresh air, if he is in the room, quickly open the window. And then call an ambulance.
The next step is a nitroglycerin tablet under the tongue. This drug should be in every home, in any car medicine cabinet. If it happens on the street, stop the first car you see.
Has the patient taken the medicine? Is he no better? Give another tablet after 3-4 minutes. However, REMEMBER: 2 tablets cannot be taken at once! It should be a little, but wait.
Next, measure AD. If it is high, you need to take physiotens in order to slightly reduce it. And so that the patient does not succumb to panic, he can drip Corvalol.
Important:before the doctor arrives, it is worth chewing one aspirin tablet.
And further:do not delay calling an ambulance if you feel unwell. A heart attack is such a thing that it can become late at any moment. While there is an opportunity, take it.
