How To Survive A Heart Attack
When Alone!
You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain
in your chest that starts to drag out into
your arm and up into your jaw. You are
only about five miles from the hospital
nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t
know if you’ll be able to make it that far.
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy
that taught the course did not tell you how
to perform it on yourself.
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, 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 2 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.
Tell as many other people as possible about
this.
It could save their lives!!!

Nice tips.

But i hope it will work for typical Nigerians

Wow! Source pls.

You should always do proper research before spreading shits. The message is an hoax mail. Most of all those things that involves you sharing are hoax.

Detailed Analysis
An email forward that offers spurious advice about how to survive a heart attack has been continually circulating around the Internet since at least 1999.

So called "cough CPR" is not a technique recommended or condoned by medical professionals The message outlines a technique for surviving a heart attack while alone that involves vigorous coughing. According to the email, a cardiologist has advised forwarding the message to others in order to save lives. However, the alleged cardiologist is not named, nor is there any reference to a reputable medical institution. In my opinion, any life-critical "medical advise" that is not supported by credible reference material should be used with extreme caution.

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.

According to the American Heart Association, "the usefulness of 'cough CPR' is generally limited to monitored patients with a witnessed arrest in the hospital setting". 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.
Moreover, the Resuscitation Council in the UK "knows of no evidence that, even if a lone patient knew that cardiac arrest had occurred, he or she would be able to maintain sufficient circulation to allow activity, let alone driving to the hospital".

A victim would probably be better off directing his or her energy towards other life saving options such as seeking immediate help or calling the emergency number. The American Heart Association article also states:
The best strategy is to be aware of the early warning signs for heart attack and cardiac arrest and respond to them by calling [the emergency number in your country]. If you're driving alone and you start having severe chest pain or discomfort that starts to spread into your arm and up into your jaw (the scenario presented in the Internet article), pull over and flag down another motorist for help or phone [the emergency number in your country] on a cellular telephone.
Heart patient support organization Mended Hearts has also debunked the procedure:
Despite a contagious rumor, coughing doesn't prevent a heart attack. An e-mail that spread around the world like a contagious disease a few years ago claimed that anyone who feels heart attack symptoms while alone should cough "repeatedly and very vigorously, repeating a breath about every two seconds…until help arrives, or (a normal heartbeat returns)."
