A former EMT with CareFlight (same as Life Flight inHouston (but in  Dallas ) sent this information.  He said do not have the heart attack patient swallow the aspirin but place it under the tongue.  The reason is that there are 2 good size veins (which return blood to heart) that are only covered by a thin layer of membrane.  This allows for the aspirin to almost immediately enter the blood stream going to the heart.  If swallowed, the aspirin has to take a longer journey through the stomach before reaching the heart.  If you go to a mirror and stick out your tongue so that you can see the underside, you can see the 2 blue veins running parallel on either side of the center of the tongue.  This former EMT's Dad was lucky to already know this procedure when he had his heart attack and credits it to saving his life.

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 chinas 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 .
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 ...

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved! 
I have already shared the information- - What about you? Do forward this message; it may save lives!
