Mayo Clinic - Aspirin Heart Attacts

Mayo Clinic - Aspirin
Dr Virend Somers is a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic and the lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Dr. Somers reports:
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon.
Having a heart attack 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.
If you take a regular 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.
FYI, aspirin has a very long shelf life;
therefore, chances are the aspirin in your medicine chest that’s been there for years is probably still good. (when aspirin gets old, it smells like vinegar).
Please read on.
Bayer is making crystal aspirin that dissolves instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.
Why keep aspirin by your bedside?
Info about Heart Attacks:
There are other symptoms of a heart attack besides pain in the left arm.
One must also be aware of intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating. However these symptoms may 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.
After wards:
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.
