Heart Attack Advice from a Cardiologist!

Bayer is making a crystal aspirin that dissolves under the tongue much faster than the tablets. Keep some next to your bed, in the car, purse and at the office. Why? Heart Attacks are not always accompanied by chest pain down the arms. Heart attacks symptoms can include profuse sweating, pain around the jaw area or nausea. These symptoms can even come and go.

If these symptoms or chest pains occur, 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
DO NOT LIE DOWN WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE EMT!

One way I like to take a break is rebounding. I have a rebounder next to the desk and in-between projects, I take 5 mins. to put on some revved up music and bounce. NASA endorsed “rebounding” for the astronaunts to help them regain bone mass … and as an excellent general exercise. It is fun, doesn’t take up much room, is available rain or shine, hot or cold weather and really works the vital lymphatic system. Click on this link to view rebounders:
