If you take an aspirin every day, it’s best to take it at night. The reason: aspirin has a “half-span” of 24 hours. So if most heart attacks happen in the morning, the aspirin in your body will be at its peak then.
Aspirins can last for many years in your small home pharmacy, but not really because as they get older they smell like vinegar.
Why keep aspirin on your bedside table?
Besides pain in the left arm, there are other symptoms that indicate a heart attack:
- Intense pain in the chin and jaw
- Nausea
- Heavy sweating
Note: In a heart attack it is possible that you have NO chest pain.
If you ever wake up to intense chest pains…
- Immediately swallow two aspirins with a little water
- Call 911 and say “heart attack”! Also mention that you took two aspirin
- Sit on a chair by the front door and wait for rescue
DO NOT LAY DOWN!”
