Aspirin is what you're thinking of. Taking a baby aspirin a day might decrease your risk of a heart attack. If you're having a heart attack, CALL 911. Then take one aspirin & lie down.

Acetaminophen does not provide any protection from heart attack,aspirin seems to act as a so called blood thinner which may give some protection

Aspirin not acetaminophen & it won't stop a heart attack & helps to prevent one. If you are having a heart attack or believe you are having one starting coughing sharp quick coughs until you can get some medical attention.

I am not a certified herbalist, but have worked with herbal remedies for over 50 years now, so I offer you the following suggestions... 1. Lavender essential oil: Lavender can be used for headaches and migraines. Lavender is one of the only 2 essential oils that can be used directly on skin with no dilution! Simply apply a few drops of essential lavender oil to your temples when you start to feel tension around your head, neck or shoulders. Migraine suffers may experience an aura that signals a migraine. Essential oil of lavender may not prevent the actual onset of the migraine but it can help you relax your muscles and emotional tension that could trigger the migraine pain. 2. Feverfew and butter bur or supplements containing magnesium and vitamin B2. If you suspect or are pregnant or breast feeding do not use any of these items without professional advice. 3. Make a thick paste using Vertiver grass roots. Powder the roots into a thick paste using a mortar & pestle. Add a small amount of water and mix thoroughly. Apply the paste to the temple areas.

Paracetamol has long been suspected of having a similar mechanism of action to aspirin because of the similarity in structure. That is, it has been assumed that paracetamol acts by reducing production of prostaglandins, which are involved in the pain and fever processes, by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme as aspirin does.
However, there are important differences between the effects of aspirin and those of paracetamol. Prostaglandins participate in the inflammatory response which is why aspirin has been known to trigger symptoms in asthmatics, but paracetamol has no appreciable anti-inflammatory action and hence does not have this side-effect. Furthermore, the COX enzyme also produces thromboxanes, which aid in blood clotting — aspirin reduces blood clotting, but paracetamol does not. Finally, aspirin and the other NSAIDs commonly have detrimental effects on the stomach lining, where prostaglandins serve a protective role, but paracetamol is safe.
Indeed, while aspirin acts as an irreversible inhibitor of COX and directly blocks the enzyme's active site, paracetamol indirectly blocks COX, and this blockade is ineffective in the presence of peroxides. This might explain why paracetamol is effective in the central nervous system and in endothelial cells but not in platelets and immune cells which have high levels of peroxides.

No, use straight aspirin and call a doctor or 911 if you are having symptoms. 9 times out of 10 a person has a heart attack while trying to drive themselves to medical help. My grandpa did and he died.

NO! Take an Aspiran and get to the hospital if you are having symptoms! Go now! Do not wait. If no Aspiran in the house get in the car and have someone drive you to the nearest ER. If you are alone call EMS/ 911 Do not attempt to drive your self. Head,neck, jaw, chest pain. Sometims pain runs down left arm. Sometimes there is no pain but feels like an elephant on your chest. Sweating, The feeling of a heard of horses running in your chest, nausea with or without vomiting................all these are symptoms.......if you hav any of these GO NOW!

in some people, usually those that don't like milk, acetaminophen can agitate the digestive process.

Asprin thins the blood, acetaminophen does not.
