Mayo Clinic on Aspirin - PASS IT ON
Mayo Clinic - 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. - 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!
