I received this the other day from Bernie. It is similar to the one I wrote some time ago. I had my heart attack almost three years ago, with basically, no symptoms, I just did not look or feel good. Every night, by my bed, a shot glass with two aspirins and a bottle of water, with a loose cap (all I have to do is lift the cap off). I use the shot glass so I don't have to be concerned about a lid. I had more hits on that blog than any so far.........
Aspirin
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.)
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 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.
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 !!!
