Mayo Clinic
on Aspirin
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 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 mouthand 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!

has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10
people, probably one

saved! I have already shared this information. What about you?
