As they say where there is a will there is a way.
You can use a portable cpap machine to help u breath. There are a few in the market which are very easy to carry. And ur lungs cant cause a heart attack unless the hypoxia is very severe. You should not be worrying about that as of now. But u should get ur self checked periodically.
