Subject: Mayo Clinic on Aspirin -

Dr. Virend  Somers, is 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.  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
for 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? It's about Heart  Attacks -

There are other symptoms of a  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:  
- Call 911/000
- 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!
