5If you are being followed

If you suddenly think that you have a stalker or if someone is following you, then the first thing to do is to make sure you are right. Try to spot the person and remember how they look. Then change the direction of your movement, if the person is still following you, ensure you are always walking in areas with people, don’t enter alleyways. Better still, enter a café and act as if you are about to meet someone. You could also carry on walking to the closest police station.

6How not to wander in circles in a forest

There are quite a number of people who while hiking end up walking in circles especially in a forest. Try to keep distinct large trees on the same side of you by keeping them to the left if you are a right-handed person or to the right if you are left-handed. This will make sure you don’t end up walking in circles.

7The first seconds of a heart attack, what you should do

This is a very critical situation as there is no telling how a heart attack can affect you. If you think you are having a heart attack or if you suspect someone in your family is, then call an ambulance immediately. Before they come, ask them if any medicine should be taken. Before taking any medicine, try to cough and breathe deeply. When you breathe deeply, your lungs fill with oxygen and the coughing action will stimulate the chest which can help in restoring your cardiac rhythm. Try to hold on till the ambulance arrives.
