.  It's well worth the effort if I can save a life.

One thing to improve: what is the source of this information?  People may not believe it without a reputable source link.

Honestly if I ever need it, the least of my concerns will be if it's true or not. It can't hurt (even if it's not true) and if it works that will be proof enough for me.

I have heard this before. I was a certified instructor in CPR and first aid and it's the truth. I haven't thought about it lately, however, and I'm very pleased you brought it up. Many simple things, if you know them, can save your life.

I went right to this post since it was from oldbuddy. I knew it would be good. Thanks.

I think that makes sense.  I will park that information in the back of my mind for future reference.

I'm at an age where this will not be a problem for several decades, but I will still keep this in mind because it is important to know.

Thanks for sharing the steps to take should a person alone feel the start of a heart attack, oldbuddy.
I wasn't aware that deep coughing and deep breaths could help.  10 seconds before losing consciousness is hardly enough time to grab a phone and dial 911, so taking these steps hopefully will give the person more time.

Also having baby aspirin handy or just taking it nightly could really help.
