> Hard to have that when you are alone. Frankly if I thought I was having a heart attack, had called, stopped in the road, whatever, I would do it just in case. Nobody said it was harmful, did they? I would pray to every god who ever was named, including Chango. There is no superstition that I would not try. Including voodoo. Let's see, just where did I put my Voodoo Bible?<br>

All the reputable medical sources say it is harmful!<br>
Don't do it - you'll make your situation worse.<br>
Get correct advice on what to do!<br>
Your response shows why those hoax emails are so attractive to people<br>
who don't know what they should do.<br>
<br>
Do a search on Cough CPR hoax.<br>

Quote:<br>
A heart attack can lead to a cardiac arrest, when your heart stops<br>
pumping blood around your body. You would become unconscious, and<br>
without immediate CPR (chest compressions and rescue breaths), you<br>
would die.<br>
<br>
If you are still conscious (and you would have to be to do ‘cough<br>
CPR’), then you are not in cardiac arrest and therefore CPR is not<br>
needed, but urgent medical help is vital.<br>
