HEART ATTACK VS. STROKE

HEART ATTACK:

Doctors recommend that if an individual experiences signs of a heart attack, to immediately call 911, then chew one 325mg ASA tablet for 30 seconds and swallow it.

The Aspirin slows clotting and decreases the size of the forming blood clot, thereby preventing the heart attack from becoming more severe.

Don't hesitate to call 9-1-1.

HEART ATTACK VS. STROKE

STROKE:

Don’t give out any medication.

Although aspirin is a blood thinner, don’t give someone aspirin while they’re having a stroke. A blood clot is only one cause of a stroke. A stroke can also be caused by a burst blood vessel in the brain.

Since you don’t know which type of stroke the person is having, don’t give any medication that could make bleeding worse..
