I know that people with heart problems are recommended to take an aspirin a day......but never heard of the first statement before....Any truth in it ?

Many a rainy afternoon has been spent pondering the nature of eternity.

when I was very small I ate a whole bottle of junior aspirin, and gave a couple to my younger brother. When my parents found out I said that he'd eaten them all, and he went to hopital and had his stomach pumped! I survived but have felt guilty to this day, especially as he tells the story at family gatherings etc- he doesn't remember that I lied and sent him to hospital for nothing!!\nWill I go to hell? I was about five years old!

anti-inflammatory medicine can be very dangerous if not taken under medical supervision and for long periods of time. aspirin for example can attack the stomach and can even cause an ulcer in people with sensitive stomach, even taken in the recommended dosage.\n  my recommendation is to talk with your doctor or pharmacist and see what they say about it

You won't like this but if your so congested and cannot breath the best thing I've ever done was take ephedrine.  Mini-thin's is my preference.  It's the only thing that honestly clears you up and let's you have a good day.  Don't take 2, Don't take if you have heart conditions or blood pressure problems, and stop taking them immidiately when you feel better.  It's the best treatment!  It's one of those chinese remedies.

I'm the same way.\nThe reason for analgesics (like aspirin and Advil) is to reduce pain and inflammation.\nIf the pain is something you can stand, you probably don't need to take anything.  \nThe Advil doesn't "cure" anything, it just reduces some symptoms for a while to make you more comfortable.

I've heard this before and have tried it.  It seems to work.  \nI used to work at a florist and we used a 1/2 aspirin everytime we changed the water in a floral arrangement (every 3 days or so.)

Plain ole Advil doesn't not contain any aspirin... even in small amounts. \n\nHOWEVER: Ibuprofen does react with your body in a lot of similar ways to many salicylates, including acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). That's why, if you have a reaction to Aspirin, you should watch yourself with Ibuprofen, too.

Aspirin was a herbal medicine until the active ingredient was isolated and properly tested.\nThis is the major problem with the plethora of herbal remedies being promoted and sold at the moment - hardly any of them have been properly tested or found scientifically to have any helpful effect.\nHerbal company profits are not used to fund the research which says something about the companies and probably a lot about the products.\nSome studies that have been done found that there was not even a placebo effect!\nHerbal remedies cannot have a place in modern medicine until they are properly tested and the dosage of the active ingredient determined.\nHave a look here:

Go to the doctor. These have proven to be not only unhealthy but have killed several girls! Heartattacks, strokes, etc. Some have not died but are no longer themselves because of the strokes. Do not stop taking it until you talk to your doctor though. You need to go off of it with the doctor's help.

I will give you the exact reply.Nope,the grape juice is great to be taken not as you suggest in the evening,but in the mornings.And it really does mirracles.But it is not rich in anto-oxidants too much and as per them the foods,bevearages,where there are really pleanty of them are peppers,carrots,blackberry!!,strwaerries,etc.The scientific researches are shown that a glass of good red wine is a fine option,because is full of anti-oxidants and other substances,which are in immediate connection in anti-aging process,hindering the oxidation on the blood cells,etc.My pal,take into account that in some countries,like Italy and France doctors adviced and administered a to heart suffereing and other patients a glass of red wine.So CHEERS!

Possibly. There are many different factors that contribute to miscarriage. Aspirin can predispose one to bleeding tendancy but not normally if taken as prescribed.

Aspirin will help your risk, but it not at all a substitute for the statins.  You do need to drop the cholesterol levels..you can try diet and excercise first, but if it does not work, statins are very good drugs to take.  You can also ask your doctor about more natural options like Benechol and fish oil.  \n\nFYI, here is a very neat tool that assesses your own risk of heart disease:\n\nhttp://www.chaicore.com/h2hv2/intro.html...\n\nFollow the tool until the end. It is based on data from several large studies. It is important to note that its answers aren't the "absolute truth," but rather the best estimations of it as based on our studies to date. In the last segment of the tool, you can add or delete aspirin from your regimen and see how that affects your risk. That's the benefit. Then you have to think of the bleeding and ulcer risk, but if you are otherwise healthy and have no personal or family history of these conditions, then you are probably ok.

Well non-specific changes in one lead do not mean much in themselves.  In the setting of chest pain, they become a bit more worrisome.  Take comfort in the fact that you are in a facility where they will take care of you.  Many people come to this forum with no insurance...they have no benefit of "waiting for doctors to run tests on them;"  all they get is this forum (sad).  Even if you have blockages, the treatments now days are excellent.  So, wait for the tests and good luck!!

Interestingly enough...to add to ur findings...I have been told by my family doctor that most people do not need a vitamin if they are healthy adults who eat right.  And I have personally never been able to take centrum because it would always make my stomach sick.  I'm checking out that site now.

Here's what you do: Try to cut out dairy and meat completely or limit yourself to small servings every few days!  Little or NO oil, fried foods.  Every night and every morning, a glass of Lemon and water.  Stevia, although more expensive is a natural sweetener and should be used instead of sugar.  Use whole wheat bread and flour,  white bread and flour sticks to your arteries.  Eat only fruits up until noon.  A LOT of esparagus.  Good and healthy w/ soy sauce, mixed w/ little virgin olive oil, garlic and another spice you may wish to use.  This will help avoid other strokes in the future.  Remember to walk or swim, or do some sort of excercise daily, improving cardiovascular system.  Best of Luck!

This is a ridiculous question that makes me think you have not even tried.  The problem is not being able to find anything rather how to fit so much information on one page.  Check out this link from the Mayo Clinic.  It is very good at even defining what you mean by "heart disease."  Good luck.\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cardiovascular-disease/HB00032
