I’m sharing this because it may save a life.

I have had many CPR classes over the years but was never told this . . . Have you ever thought about it ❤️🤔

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?

A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this: Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it...

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs 🫁 and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.☝🏻

9. FOR WOMEN 👭: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message. 💞

My Battle Buddy ask me to post this.. I’m just following orders. You never know the outcome will be. Just show some love for one another. You don’t know how much it means, to the other person, just to take the time out to respond. “Leave No One Behind.”

I'm NOT TAGGING ANYBODY!!! MY MILITARY VETS BETTER SHOW UP IN FULL FORCE!!! Calling ALL My PEOPLE. My circle may be small, but I got enough SOLID brothers and sisters in my life. I am doing a battle buddy check-in showing support for one another. I need 7 warriors to post this message to show you are ALWAYS there if someone needs to talk. I have no idea who will say Done in my post but I have faith!

As you can tell, our Rotarians have been in high gear with service projects. To serve others well, it takes time, talent and treasure. Thank you to all who give what you have, where you are, with what you can.

We are all busy people, so everyone giving a little time contributes to hundreds of hours to make a project, like our recent Basket Brigade a success with 400 families served.

It takes talent to serve others as not all of us know everything. We learn to ask for help and leverage the know how and connections of others. Take our recent shopping day for children. We know there are needs AND we needed to connect with our local schools to help us ensure that we served those most in need.

And it takes treasure. Since 1917, Rotary has been a charitable organization that started with a $26.50 contribution to create The Rotary Foundation. Philanthropy is who we are. To learn more: https://www.rotary.org/en/about-rotary/rotary-foundation
