Tongue indicator for stroke
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
cid:1.2971483098@web51904.mail.re2.yahoo.com
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S. T. R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital -
(at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough...
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
I have done my part. Will you?
Heart attack for women
Diane K. in A FEMALE HEART ATTACKS
I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I've ever read.
Women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction). Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack .. you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that we see in the movies. Here is the story of one woman's experience with a heart attack.
"I had a heart attack at about 10 :30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, 'A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up.
A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you've been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you've swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn't have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation---the only trouble was that I hadn't taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m.
After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR).
This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. 'AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening -- we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven't we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I'm having a heart attack!
I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn't be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else ... but, on the other hand, if I don't, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment.
I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics ... I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn't feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in.
I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don't remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance.
He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like 'Have you taken any medications?') but I couldn't make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery.
'I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St. Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stints.
'Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand.'
1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body not the usual men's symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn't know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Mallox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they'll feel better in the morning when they
wake up ... which doesn't happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you've not felt before.
It is better to have a 'false alarm' visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be!
2. Note that I said 'Call the Paramedics.' And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road.
Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what's happening with you instead of the road.
Do NOT call your doctor -- he doesn't know where you live and if it's at night you won't reach him anyway, and if it's daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn't carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later.
3. Don't assume it couldn't be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it's unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.
Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

心絞痛徵兆………………..
50歲的陳媽媽是家庭主婦,身材很標準、看起來很年輕,除了有高血壓外,並沒有其他疾病。而且她非常注重飲食養生,不菸、不酒,每天都有運動的習慣。
但 是,最近陳媽媽卻發現,早上慢跑時牙齦會痛,假日和先生去爬山,沒有多久,牙齦也會痛,只好提早回家休息。先生勸她去看牙科,可是陳媽媽從小就怕牙醫,所 以,當她去看她的家庭醫師時,順道告訴醫師最近發生的這些情形。沒想到醫師很謹慎告訴她:「趕快去看心臟專科醫師,請醫師幫您做詳細的檢查。」
陳媽媽回家後告訴先生,陳先生半信半疑說:「牙痛怎麼會看心臟科呢?」陳媽媽說:「但是醫師是很嚴肅地建議我趕快去看耶!不是開玩笑喔!」隔天夫妻倆一起到心臟科門診求診。
醫師聽完陳媽媽的敘述後,告訴她:「陳太太,我建議您住院安排做心導管檢查,您的牙齦痛應該是『心絞痛引起的反射性疼痛』。」
經過心導管檢查果然發現,陳媽媽的心臟有3條血管阻塞,而且還有多處阻塞的情形,因此醫師建議陳媽媽接受心臟冠狀動脈血管繞道手術;她在手術後,恢復良好。
大多數人對「心絞痛」症狀的認識是:胸悶、胸前劇痛、盜冷汗。其實,心絞痛的症狀還有:手麻、肩胛骨(後肩膀)痛、下巴(或牙齦)痛、麻,而這些症狀都稱為反射性疼痛。
容易罹患心血管疾病的危險因子除了高血壓、高血脂、糖尿病、抽菸、肥胖者外,年齡(40歲以上)、停經後婦女、有家族史者,亦都是罹患心血管疾病的高危險群。
(作者為行政院衛生署台中醫院護理師)
關於心臟病發作
除左胳膊痛苦以外.心臟病發作會有其他症狀:如下巴會劇痛,以及噁心和盜汗,然而這些症狀也許並不常常發生。
注意:心臟病發作期間,可能不會有胸口的痛苦。多數人(大約60%)在他們的睡眠期間心臟病發作,因而沒有醒來。 然而,胸口痛也許會讓您從您的熟睡中醒來。 如果這樣,立刻咬碎二阿斯匹靈在您的嘴中並且與水吞下他們。
之後,給鄰居或居住非常近的家庭成員打電話 -說; " 心臟病發作! 已吞了2顆阿斯匹靈。"
然後坐在前門附近的椅子或沙發上,並且等待人們的到來~絕不能再躺下來~

人要注意三個半分鐘,三個半小時
English summary: Before go to bathroom at mid night, sit in bed for 3 minutes.
科學家經常強調一句話: 「 人要注意三個半分鐘,三個半小時。 」
三個半分鐘』 不花一分錢,可以少死多少人啊!
很多人白天好好的,說晚上死了,有人說,昨天我還見過他,怎麼就死了呢?原因是,他夜晚下床上廁所太快了,突然一起床,腦缺血。
那麼科學家怎麼提出三個半分鐘呢? 因為我們在遙控心電圖監測時,發現好多人白天心電圖正常,突然晚上老是心肌缺血,提前收縮,是什麼道理呢?
因為,他突然一起床,一下子血壓低了,腦缺血心臟停跳了。
科學家就提出了 三個半分鐘:
1 . 醒過來 不要馬上起床, 在床上躺半分鐘 ;
2. 坐起來 後又 坐半分鐘 ;
3. 兩條腿垂在床沿 又等 半分鐘 。
經過這三個半分鐘,不花一分錢,腦不會缺血,心臟不會驟停,減少了很多不必要的瘁死(突然死亡),不必要的心肌梗塞,不必要的腦中風。
有 一次我講完課,有位老人大哭,我說:『你哭什麼呢?』他哭得非常傷心地說:『唉!我就是兩年前夜晚上廁所,上得快了一點、上得猛了一點,頭暈,結果呢,第 二天半身不遂,整整在床上躺了八個月,背上長起了褥瘡。我早聽這節課,就不致於半身不遂了,早知道三個半分鐘,我哪至於受八個月的苦。」
三個半小時 ,就是:
1. 早上起來運動半個小時 , 打打太極拳、跑跑步,但不超過三公里,或者進行其他運動,但要因人而異,運動需適量。
2. 中午睡半小時 ,這是人生物鐘需要,中午睡上半小時,下午上班,精力特別充沛。老年人更需要補充睡眠。因晚上老人睡得早,起得早,中午非常需要休息。
3. 晚上 6 至 7 時 慢步行走半小時 ,可減少心肌梗塞,高血壓發病率。
40 歲以上的都該看看!!

Healthy sequence to eat
有句民諺,飯前喝湯,勝似藥方。就點明了湯與飯兩種食品的先後。而且符合科學。
吃飯前先喝幾口湯,等於給消化道加了點「潤滑劑」,使後來的食物順利下咽,防止乾硬食品刺激胃腸黏膜,從而有益於胃腸對食物的消化與養分的吸收,並能在某種程度上減少食管炎、胃炎等疾病的發生。如果反其道而行之,飯前不喝水,反而會沖淡胃液,影響食物的消化與吸收。
再 說水果,主要成分是果糖,無須通過胃來消化,而是直接進入小腸被人體所吸收。而米飯、麵食、肉食等含澱粉及蛋白質成分的食物,則需要在胃裡停留一段時間。 如果進餐時先吃飯、菜,再吃水果,消化速度慢的澱粉、蛋白質會阻礙消化快的水果,致使所有的食物一起攪和在胃中,水果在胃腸 37℃高溫下,產生發酵反應甚至腐敗,引起脹氣、便秘等症狀,給消化道帶來負面影響。
因此,有關專家建議,人們就餐最好按照這樣的順序時行,即湯──蔬菜──米飯──肉類──半小時後再吃水果。
如果你吃了魷魚、龍蝦、藻類等富含蛋白質與礦物質的海味,則須將食用水果的時間延後到 2~3 小 時以後,切忌兩者同食,特別是柿子、石榴、葡萄、楊梅、酸柚等。原因在於這些水果中韉酸較多。不僅降低蛋白質的營養價值,而且易與海味中的鈣、鐵等結合, 生成不易消化的新物質,失去進食美味的快感還在其次,糟糕的是還可刺激胃腸而引起惡心、嘔吐、腹痛等症狀,成為致病的禍根。
