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 2 aspirins in your mouth
- and swallow them with a bit of water
Afterwards :
CALL 911
- say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins..

If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. The reason is that 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.
FYI aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest...(years) when it get old it smells like vinegar.
Just remember While doctors try to prevent coronary disease by treating high blood pressure and high cholesterol, it's not 100 percent effective. If there are warning symptoms like angina with exercise, there is enough time to see a doctor and get started on effective treatments that reduce risk. Having a heart attack causes permanent damage, even if it doesn't kill you.
until next time....
