Cough CPR - An urban myth or a useful technique?
I heard something on NPR radio this morning , and they said some
research somewhere shows " If you think you are having a heart attack
( chest pain I would guess), that until the ambulance arrives it might
be beneficial to force your self to cough repeatedly. They said it
would act like a form of CPR and help improve the blood flow to lungs
and the brain, in other words better than doing nothing till the
ambulance arrives.
