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, 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, 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 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.)
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
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~

RECOGNIZING
A STROKE
Thank
God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR
. Read and Learn!
Sometimes
symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The
stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people
nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now
doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking
three simple questions:
S
*Ask the individual to
SMILE.
T
*Ask the person to
TALK . to
SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE(Coherently) (i.e. . .
It is sunny out today)
R
*Ask him or her to
RAISE BOTH ARMS.
{NOTE:
Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to
'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if
it goes to one side or the other that is also an
indication of a stroke}
If
he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call
9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the
dispatcher.
A
cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends
it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will
be saved.

Heart Attack - While Alone:

HOW
TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK ALONE
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home
(alone of course), after an unusually
hard day on the job.
You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly
you start experiencing severe pain in your
chest
that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into
your jaw. You are only about five miles from the
hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don't
know if you'll be able to make it that far. What can
you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that
taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform
it on yourself. Since many people are alone when they
suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in
order. Without help, the person whose heart stops
beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has
only about 10 seconds left before losing
consciousness. However, these victims can help
themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough. The
cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing
sputum from deep inside the chest. And a cough must be
repeated about every 2 seconds without let up until
help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating
normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs
and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the
blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart
also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart
attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many
other people as possible about this, it could save
their lives! From Health Cares, Rochester General
Hospital via Chapter 240s newsletter AND THE BEAT GOES
ON ... (reprint from The Mended Hearts, Inc.
publication, Heart Response)
