We’re fairly quiet on social media these days, preferring to get out and meet as many of you in person as possible, but we feel this needs to be said!!
Recently our newsfeed has been full of “helpful” posts about what to do if you’re on your own and suspect you’re having a heart attack! Ringing any bells? Have you seen it? Maybe even shared it??
We’re here to say that there is no medical evidence that coughing helps in this situation. A heart attack is not a blockage that can be shifted so this viral bit of nonsense is quite scary!
If you suspect you are having a heart attack, phone 999. Do not attempt to drive yourself anywhere. If there are no allergies, you can chew up to 325 milligrams of aspirin if available and follow the instructions given to you by the trained professionals on the end of the phone!
Social media can be brilliant but misinformation can travel and we’re pretty sure Alexa has never been on one of our courses!
Take care x
