What should be done after a heart attack
If someone in front of you has a heart attack today, then first of all make him lie down straight on a flat place. If a person has become unconscious, check the pulse. If pulse is not felt at all then understand that the person has suffered a heart attack. Because in a heart attack the heartbeat stops, hence a pulse cannot be found. It is necessary to revive his heart within two to three minutes, otherwise his brain may get damaged due to lack of oxygen. In such a situation, if a heart attack occurs, immediately punch the chest hard. Beat him until he regains consciousness. This will make his heart start working again.
Give CPR to an unconscious person immediately
If someone has become unconscious and there is no pulse, then immediately give him CPR with your hands. Mainly two tasks are done in CPR. First is to press the chest and second is to give breath through the mouth which is called mouth to mouth respiration. Place your palm in the middle of the first person’s chest. While pumping, place the palm of one hand on top of the other and bind the fingers tightly and keep both hands and elbows straight. After that the chest is compressed by pumping the chest. By doing this the heartbeats start again. Press the chest with the palm for 1-2 inches. Do this hundred times in a minute.
These could be signs of a heart attack:
Discomfort in the chest, especially in the center, that lasts more than a few minutes or comes and goes. Discomfort may feel like heaviness, fullness, pressure, or pain.
