Aspirin for Heart Attack
A Health Tip To Remember
Keep aspirin by your bedside.




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 20 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.
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!




Remember these three letters
S.T.R.
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.


However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

 A breath and a cough must be repeated about very two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.


Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

4 Body Pains You Should Never Ignore (0:30)
MORE FROM THIS EPISODE


Perhaps you experienced a sharp shooting sensation that you can’t explain, or a dull ache that never quite goes away. These types of pains can be clues to your overall well-being. Even if you’ve had blood work or other forms of testing done that indicated you’re in the clear, your body may be trying to tell you something is wrong. To help you prevent potentially life-threatening situations, Dr. Oz reveals the four body pains you should never ignore.

Jaw Pain: Can Signal a Heart Attack
A dull, vague pain on the lower left side of your jaw should never be ignored. This pain increases and decreases over the course of a few minutes. In addition, it moves around so you can’t quite pinpoint exactly where it bothers you. Known as “referred pain,” this sensation occurs when the nerves surrounding the heart become agitated, sending pain through the nerves in the spine to other locations in the body, specifically the left jaw, shoulder, and arm.



LEARN MORE: How to Know If You Might Be Having a Heart Attack
Dr. Oz’s When to Worry Scale can help you understand the difference between benign jaw pain such as TMJ, a sinus infection, or a toothache, and serious jaw pain associated with a heart attack.


Green Zone: Lowest Risk

If moving your jaw around (such as while chewing) increases the pain, it’s likely the discomfort has nothing to do with your heart.


Yellow Zone: Medium Risk

Jaw pain that happens in the morning can be an instance of referred pain and serves as a warning sign that you’re at risk for a heart attack. Your blood is thicker at this time of the day, which causes blood pressure to surge, increasing heart attack risk.


Red Zone: The Highest Risk

Pain brought on by physical activity can manifest in several areas including the chest, jaw, left arm and shoulder, a scenario that typically indicates you’re having a heart attack.

 Shortness of breath, a common heart attack symptom in women, may also occur.

You may also get additional classic heart attack signs such as dizziness or nausea. In this case, see a doctor immediately.
