Another Way To Survive A Heart Attack....

Picking The Fingers?

I heard from a friend about another way to survive a heart attack and stroke.

When someone is under attack by stroke or heart attack, normally it is due to increased in blood pressure. In that instance, use a needle to prick the end of the victim's fingers. It may be able to release some pressure from the arteries.

Theoretically it sounds logical. It may or may not work! It has yet to be proven and I can't find any write up at the moment. I will update one I find it. Read further on Heart Attack prevention.

Coughing Out?

Can coughing really help to alleviate the worst scenario? Check this out here... and here....

Considering the chances of being alone and the nearest and fastest medical help is available, there is no harm trying. All you need to do is to cough out as loud as possible.

Scientifically, the cough is able to generate some extra pressure in our blood vessel to push through any blockages in our blood system. Sounds right isn't it?

"Coughing hard at the first signs of a heart attack could save a patient's life, researchers claim. Polish doctors said the pumping action caused by a deep cough would cause blood to be pushed through the body and to the brain." Continue....

Salt: How Much Is Enough?

We Can't Live Without It But We Don't Need Too Much

Salt were worth as much as gold Centuries ago. During the period, people went to war for it. Now, we are over supply and become a health problem for some.

In today's flood of processed food, we are over consuming it. We have this problem of high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney failure and liver failure more than our grandfathers. Why?

The problem lies in the urban lifestyles. We consume more processed food than before. And the problem lies from the prepared food. We are unable to access the amount of sodium from the food we take. How much do we need a day?

Alternatively, we could save our health by simply making the choice of food we desire and cook our meal without sodium. We can have it as tasty as we want by making a healthy substitution. Continue here...

Something Invaluable to Others When Needed

Blood Saves Lives And Blood Cannot Be Manufactured

This cannot be truer!

About a month and half ago, my mobile was flooded with a couple of messages in the middle of the night. I wasn't aware of it cause I was at sleep. Then came a call at about 2am which actually woke me up. It was a SOS call from my best friend.

His wife had given birth to a baby boy a couple of hours earlier. There were some complications right after the cesarean delivery. Her placenta kept bleeding. It was a nightmare for her and her doctors who tried to save her.

I know my best friend for more than 25 years. That early morning call was the very first time he requested help from me. I knew it was extremely serious by the way he sounded. "Sevelle is in ICU and she needs blood urgently. She had used almost 15 packets of blood for her transfusion. Please help me to get donors.........". I knew I needed to do something right to help his wife.

One thing came to my mind is the list of names that I have kept in my mobile phone on the previous 'like' SOS. I started to type messages on my mobile. "Sevelle needs B+ type blood due to blood loss during childbirth. Pls respond immediately to save her life and pls forward this sms to all you know. She is now in GMC Hospital. I can be reached at 0174784.... TQ". The message was sent out to all the people I knew.

All through the morning, I have had good Samaritans who called and message me to enquire about her situation. Some went straight to check with the hospital. I went to the hospital the following morning. Situation was tense. My friend Johnny looked exhausted. I assured him not to worry about the blood donors.

Some came forward to donate platelet (one of the composition in blood to stop bleeding) because she had a very low platelet count (around 20). I was put on standby for it. I could not donate any blood because I donated blood a month ago but for platelet is fine. (I was told that we could donate platelet every week instead of every 3 months for blood)

Her situation did not improve until the third day. The total blood transfusion amounted close to 40 packets which is ridiculously high. According to the doctor, it is like draining the blood from our body more than 3 times (each time 13 packets). I was told that she might develop some side symptoms from it. True enough. She developed rashes all over her body till today.

As for donors who came forward to donate and for those who called and sms me, I wish to thank Them on my best friend behalf for their efforts, care and prayers during the time of emergency. I appreciate the good responds although I don't know some of them personally. I must say what ever good deed They have done, they will be rewarded with kind Blessings.

My thought for now is to provide whatever I could in time of need to the person who need it most. And the beauty part of it is to provide what money can't buy. Something which cannot be manufactured. Something from the kindness of our heart. Something very personal. Something which we can give without much sacrifices but is able to save a person's life. This is the beauty of life that we live in and being able to serve with great Dignity.

I wish I could do more for everyone. I wish I would be able to help those who wish to help and those who wish to be help. This is life. We live only once...... I wish someone will be able to guide me to help others in need in a Big way........

Managing Anger

Something Human Is Trying To Be A Master To It

We are sometimes driven up the wall unreasonably. Could it due to Emotions?

Well in deed it is. We could find the answer if we are truthful with ourselves: asking the question and answering it.

If we do the post mortem, we should at least find part of the answer on every occasion. Try to deal with it and figure out how not to repeat it. But sad to say, we never do the post mortem part.

The sad part is when our loved ones point out to us, we tend to be defensive. Denial and obscured reasoning were used to cover our ego. Then the explosion occur. KABOOOOOOM

Next, apologetic statements, hugging and ........ take place. Forgotten to rectify the problem. Then happen again and again.

The source may be link to our childhood. It could be inherited. We could have been the witness to the anger itself during adolescence.

I have a strong feeling, we need to address this problem by checking ourselves and to educate anger management to our children. I feel that we can win this war by not pointing fingers but by accepting and change for the better.
