BBC Morning Live doctor warning over 'cough every second' heart attack advice A BBC Morning Live doctor has issued a warning over fake advice sweeping across social media about heart attacks.
Dr Amos Ogunkoya, a regular on the show, said a Facebook post is circulating that says if you’re having heart attack when you’re alone, the best thing is to cough every second until your heart starts beating normally again.
I think if you come across it, don’t share it, and if you know the person who’s sharing it, share the fact with them that this is incorrect information and if people think that it’s good information, it’s quite dangerous.".
"If you can and if you’re not allergic, and you’ve got access to aspirin, that will be really good at thinning blood and increasing the amount of blood that gets to your heart."
The expert says if you are alone are are having a heart attack, you need to call 999 and do this as soon as you can.
