Over 60? 7 Life-Saving Tips to Survive a Heart Attack When You’re Alone | Senior Health

Описание: Every year, thousands of older adults face a terrifying reality — suffering a heart attack alone at home. But survival isn’t just about luck — it’s about knowing the right steps when seconds matter. In this episode, the Healthy60+ team reveals 7 life-saving actions every senior health expert recommends to protect yourself when no one’s around.
We’ll show you exactly what to do in the first 3 minutes — how to stay conscious, which position saves oxygen flow, why chewing aspirin can buy you precious time, and how to alert emergency services hands-free. These steps have been tested and refined by leading cardiologists and senior health researchers worldwide.
You’ll also learn how to build a “Heart Emergency Zone” in your home — the best place to sit, what to keep nearby, and how to prepare a simple checklist that could save your life or your loved one’s. Because when it comes to senior health, preparation is power.
At Healthy60+, we believe that senior health isn’t about fear — it’s about readiness, clarity, and control. Every minute you spend learning these steps strengthens your independence and peace of mind.
