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 chin, as well as nausea and lots ofsweating,
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!

I have already shared the information- - What about you? 

Do forward this message; it may save lives!

Most people who are having a heart attack don't want to lie down unless its serious enough that they are unconscious. They are usually sitting up and often leaning forward (tripoding). Another reason its important to not lie down is a person having a heart attack will often be nauseated and throw up. If you're lieing down and go unconscious you can vomit and choke and aspirate and you don't want that to happen.
Symptoms can also be severe indigestion or even pain in the stomach rather than the chest. Women will have back pain more often than chest pain.
