Heart Attacks and Water

Subject: Heart Attacks and Water

 

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink 
anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during
the night?

Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this ! Interesting.......

Heart Attack & Water
Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why do people 
need to urinate so much at night time.
Answer from my Cardiac Doctor;
Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are 
upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and 
etc) seeks level with the kidneys it is then that the kidneys remove the 
water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!
I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of 
your body, but this was news to me.

Correct time to drink water... Very Important: From A Cardiac Specialist!

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - reduces the risk of stroke or 
heart attack

Please pass this to the people you care about......

I can also add to this...
My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent 
night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they 
cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.

Aspirin - PASS IT ON

Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr.. Virend Somers, is a cardiologist from the 
Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue 
of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Most heart attacks 
occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during 
the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that 
something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working 
for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.


1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: 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.
2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest for 
years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

Something that we can do to help ourselves nice to know. Bayer is 
making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work 
much faster than the tablets. Why keep Aspirin by your bedside?
Heart Attacks -
There are other symptoms of a 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 two 
aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. 
Afterwards: - Call 911. - 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!
