heart attack precausions

Aspirin Info

To add to your body of body knowledge:

Dr. Virend Somers, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic who is lead author of
the report in the July 29, 2008issue of the Journal of the American College
of Cardiology.

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. And noon,
Somers said. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at
rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have
been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.


1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life". Therefore, if most heart
attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the aspirin would be
strongest in your system.

2. FYI, aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest....... ...
..years.
(when it gets old, it smells like vinegar.)

Please read on.


Something that we can do to help ourselves.. Nice to know.
Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They
work much faster than the tablets.


Why keep aspirin by your bedside?

About Heart Attacks

There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm

One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and
lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note:There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep
did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up
from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow
them with a bit of water.
Afterwards:
-call 911
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
-say"heart attack!"
-say that you have taken 2 aspirins ..
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their
arrival and...
~do NOT lie down~

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail,
sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!

I have already shared the information- - What about you?


NOTE: My question is this, How does asprin help? What makes it work, a reaction???? And what about Those who are allergic?

ALSO NOTE: people who are allergic may have trouble with instant memory and fine motor tasks.
