New Aspirin for HEART ATTACK

This article is just to give some information regarding what to do when you or someone close to you is having a heart attack. Many of us are not sure what should be done( this includes me).Hope everyone finds it useful as I have. This article was sent to me and I wanted to share it.

Bayer makes crystal aspirins that dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than tablets swallowed.

Why keep aspirins 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 (under your tongue) and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards:
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by or the ambulance
- 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
