FW: Mayo Cardiologist
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, he said. 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, to 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.
WHY ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED save lives…
It is important to always have ASPIRIN in the home!!!
Why have 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 an heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had an 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, phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
and state “HEART ATTACK!!!” and that you have taken 2 ASPIRINS
Take a seat on a chair or sofa and wait for their arrival and….
DO NOT LIE DOWN !!!
A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this
e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably a life can be saved!
