Why have Aspirin by your bedside?
ABOUT HEART ATTACKS
ABOUT HEART ATTACKSThere 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.Afterward, 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!!!

Aspirin DOES slash the risk of a heart attack - but only if it is taken at night
A small dose of aspirin may cut the risk of heart attack or stroke in those with rising blood pressure - but only if it is taken at night.
Doctors have discovered that the aspirin lowers blood pressure to normal for up to 24 hours.

The effect only works if the tablet is taken at night, according to Spanish researchers.
.
It is hoped that a preventive 75mg dose of aspirin - one fifth of the amount found in a standard tablet - could prevent many people with normal to high blood pressure, known as pre-hypertension, from having to take expensive long-term medication.
An estimated 16million in the UK have high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
.
Professor Ramon Hermida of the University of Vigo, who led the study, said aspirin reduced blood pressure only when given at night.
"Previously it was thought you could take it any time," he said. "But we have shown that any other time apart from before going to bed it has no effect.
"Previously it was thought you could take it any time," he said. "But we have shown that any other time apart from before going to bed it has no effect. "These results show us that we cannot underestimate the impact of the body's circadian rhythms."
Timing the best moment to give a drug is an emerging science, he added, and more research is needed before doctors could recommend taking aspirin for pre-hypertension.
.
Patients worried about their blood pressure should check with their own doctor about whether they could safely take regular aspirin, which has side effects, he said.
Although it is unclear why aspirin works better at night, researchers believe it may slow down the production of hormones and other substances in the body that cause clotting. Many of these are produced while the body is at rest.

It has not been previously reported that aspirin lowers blood pressure, but it is proven to reduce a number of factors linked to heart disease and stroke in high-risk patients.
Millions of heart patients take a daily low-dose pill on the advice of their doctor.

Its anti-blood clotting action has been proved to help cut subsequent attacks and strokes among heart attack survivors.
More on Aspirin
(abstract from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin)
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (abbreviated ASA), is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains, as an antipyretic to reduce fever, and as an anti-inflammatory medication.
Aspirin also has an antiplatelet, or "anti-coagulate", effect by inhibiting thromboxane prostaglandins, which under normal circumstances bind platelet molecules together to repair damaged blood vessels. This is why aspirin is used in long-term low doses to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and blood clot formation in people at high risk for developing blood clots. It has also been established that low doses of aspirin may be given immediately after a heart attack to reduce the risk of another heart attack or of the death of cardiac tissue.
The main undesirable side effects of aspirin are gastrointestinal ulcers, stomach bleeding, and tinnitus, especially in higher doses. In children and adolescents, aspirin is no longer used to control flu-like symptoms or the symptoms of chickenpox or other viral illnesses, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
