Aspirin-How ? When?

Chinese Proverb:
'When someone shares something of value with you, and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

So I'm passing this on...hopefully the tablets will lie idle by your bedside.

Cheers and good health.

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 apnoea 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.?
If you have a previous history of heart problems, then the physician may have prescribed "Sorbitrate" tablets to you.
These too may be kept at the bedside and one or two may be placed under the tongue in case we fear an imminent heart attack.
Take deep breaths and exhale slowly and rub lightly with your right hand on your chest where we know the heart lies.

Afterwards:

-call
911
- phone
a neighbour 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 info,
passes it on to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!?
