How to stop a heart attack

Here are three things you need to keep on hand to fight a heart attack.

I. Aspirin
Always keep a bottle of aspirin in your bathroom medicine cabinet. If you think you’re having a heart attack, take one 325mg tablet of adult aspirin. Chew it — don’t just swallow it. It allows for the aspirin to get into your bloodstream faster and slow the heart attack down.

II. Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is a powerful stimulant; it increases heart rate and carries blood to all parts of the body, balancing circulation. Cayenne pepper has hemostatic effect, stops bleeding instantly, and helps in heart attack recovery.

If you have cayenne pepper at home, give the person having a heart attack a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a glass of water. The patient has to be conscious for this to work.

If the person is unconscious, you can use cayenne pepper extract. Put a few drops under patient’s tongue for results.
