Having had another B'day recently, I have been inundated with an inordinate number of 'seniors' 'jokes'(?) and advice.( I'm not a 'senior'! How the hell does 'the net' know how old I am anyway??? )This one seems worth passing on.This is good info.

We did not know that you should not lie down while waiting for the EMT



Heart attack info NEW ASPIRIN/ Serious stuff, no joke!!

Just a reminder to all: purchase a box, keep one in your car, pocketbook, wallet, bedside, etc.

IMPORTANT READ......



Something that we can do to help ourselves. Nice to know.
Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.

Why keep aspirin 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 nauseaand 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
- say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins..
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and...
~ DO NOT lie down ~

To add to your list Yogi - the most common first symptom of a heart condition is sudden death. So, get your blood pressure checked regularly.

I can live with 'sudden' it's that 'slow lingering death' that doesn't hold any appeal for me!

If you do have one, there's an advantage to being older. Older people who have an attack are more likely to survive because they have developed other blood flow because of the blockages. Young adults who have them tend to be fatal because their bodies haven't been able to develop other sources of blood flow. I've seen a quite a few of these......paddles and all.
