GOOD ADVICE FROM A CARDIOLOGIST


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, doctors 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.) WHY ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED save lives ... It is important to always have ASPIRIN in the home!!! Why have Aspirin by your bedside? There are other symptoms of a heart attack besides the pain in 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 an 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 FULL-STRENGTH ASPIRINS IN YOUR MOUTH and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards, phone 911. Also, call a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by and state "HEART ATTACK!!!" and that you have taken 2 ASPIRINS.

Take a seat on a chair or sofa and wait for their arrival... DO NOT LIE DOWN !!!
