If suddenly you catch your breath, dizziness and weakness appear, if it's difficult for you to stand on your feet or suddenly wake up at night, forget about the doctor, and call just neighbors, friends, in a word, who can quickly be nearby and support you at this moment. Do not panic when the water is gone. It is necessary to try to maintain self-control for as long as possible.
