Aspirin - PASS IT ON
Mayo Clinic Aspirin
Dr. Virend Somers,
is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in
the July 29, 2011 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
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 - 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 !
