What if i am alone and idon't know how to perform CPR or i have forgotten how to perform CPR?

CPR can be performed alone. Take periodic CPR classes and tests to prevent this problem of forgetting. The best advice I can give is, god forbid this happens call 911 right away, and if you remember correctly begin giving CPR. Your 911 operator, will most likely help you through it anyway. So don't sweat it. I hope I helped. Thanks, and have a great day/night.
