It may save lives! "heart attack!"

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

Most  heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6  A.M. and noon.  Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that  something unusual happened. Somers and his colleges 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 for 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? It's about Heart Attacks
-
 There are other symptoms of a 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 some people, probably one life could be saved!
