| | | Posting early tonight so I can pack up my computer toniight. I got the oil changed and took my camper to Camping World for the 45-point inspection. I got the following information in an email and thought I should pass it along: This is good info: | We did not know that you should NOT lie down while waiting for the EMT | Heart attack info NEW ASPIRIN/ Serious stuff, no joke!!
Just a reminder to all: purchase a box, keep one in your car, pocketbook, wallet, bedside, etc.
IMPORTANT READ......
Something that we can do to help ourselves. | Nice to know.

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 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
- 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 and...
DO NOT lie down
A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!
Leaving early tomorrow morning.
Until next time…
