A member asked:
Can continuous slapping of the inner left elbow help with someone who suddenly had heart attack to recover in an emergency situation? can the slapping stimulate the acupressure points around the left side that is related to the heart and lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This probably won’t do anything positive for someone having a heart attack. In that situation, emergency services must be called as soon as possible to begin life saving medical treatment.
