I got this in an email through a mailing list. Doctors on here can you please verify this?

Alone and Heart Attack
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job.  You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your
chest that starts to radiate 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.  What can you do?  You've been trained in CPR but the guy that
taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform
it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE.
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed in order.  
Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly 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 two seconds without let
up until help arrives, or until the heart is 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!

I am not a doctor- but heard/ read this too. Most everyone in my family has died of a heart attack and at an early age. My Mom and I were born on the same day- she died at 42. My family is watching me close!

Only Allah swt knows...
