If you’re checking whether this viral claim is true: there is no proven 10-second trick you can do by yourself at home that reliably stops or reverses a heart attack.
If you think you’re having a heart attack:
-
Call your local emergency medical service immediately. In Pakistan, you can call 1122 where Rescue 1122 operates.
-
Sit or lie down and avoid exertion.
-
If you’ve been prescribed nitroglycerin, use it exactly as directed.
-
Do not drive yourself to the hospital.
-
If you become unresponsive and aren’t breathing normally, someone nearby should start CPR and use an AED if available.
A heart attack is a medical emergency; getting professional treatment quickly is what saves lives, not a 10-second maneuver.
