Early Morning Cardiac Events

Posted By Stella (California) on 03/22/2025

Nearly every early morning (3am-4am) I (female, 58) go through “dying” from a cardiac event. I know about all theories behind early mornings heart attacks/failure events. They say take aspirin and call 911. I’d be calling 911 every morning if I did that and can’t take aspirin. I get excruciatingly nauseated from aspirin followed profuse saliva production, I literally choke on it and start vomiting. Can’t take nitro either. Can’t get up during an episode and prepare hot cayenne pepper tea.
Maybe there is something else exists to take during an episode that works fast.
I do have a cardiologist, but they are useless, unless you are a male and a candidate for a surgery.
I don’t want to live forever, I am just tired of suffering.

Maybe cooled off cayenne tea on your night table might be just as useful?

Hi Stella, if hot cayenne pepper helps your early morning cardiac events......let me share how I take my daily dose for general health. I bought a silicone mold for making coffee bean shape chocolate, cocoa butter and extra hot cayenne pepper powder. I melt 50 grams of coca butter in a stainless steel bowl over hot water bath, then mix in 100 grams pepper powder. After mixing well and even I scrap the paste into the mold cavities with something like a credit card, so that the cavities are filled evenly. Then place the whole mold sheet in fridge. Once the beans are solidified (for easy and clean unmolding) you can unmold and store them in a jar and have it ready by your bedside. Each bean is about 300 mg of pepper. I don't use my fingers to fetch the beans (cross contamination with male part in the morning might burn), instead I use a teaspoon to bring the pieces to back of tongue and down some water. The mold, cocoa butter and pepper can be easily on Amazon, eBay etc.

What a splendid idea! Do you keep it in your mouth or swallow? I’d think that allowing it to melt in the mouth would work faster. But would it burn the mouth?

Hi Stella -

Another suggestion would be to have a bottle of cayenne tincture by your bedside and a glass of water.

Here's just one example of the tincture (you can get it at health food stores too):

Herb Pharm Certified Organic Cayenne Extract for Cardiovascular and Circulatory Support

Add some drops to water (some use juice).

You can make your own as well.

Hope that helps.

I think cayenne must be dissolved in hot water to have an immediate effect. I also think she is asking for remedies other than cayenne pepper for it is unclear what is happening in the early am hours, it could be heart attack like symptoms, hearth failure, severe tachycardia symptoms. It looks like the symptoms eventually subside leaving her exhausted and drained physically and mentally.
What about cognac?

“Alcohol has been regarded as a valuable drug in the treatment of angina pectoris since the earliest description of the disease by Heberden1 in 1786. It is rated by most contemporary authorities as one of the few effective coronary vasodilators, second only to the nitrites.2 Indeed, the effect of 1 or 2 ounces (30 to 60 cc.) of whisky or brandy in terminating an anginal attack is said to be comparable in many instances to the results obtained with glyceryl trinitrate. Nevertheless, it is in the prevention rather than in the treatment of these episodes that alcohol has been deemed of particular clinical value.2b Physicians frequently prescribe it in angina pectoris as a routine prophylactic measure and especially before contemplated effort or excitement.”

You can buy Dr Cynthia Foster's Extra Hot Cayenne tincture in a dropper bottle. Very good stuff!

Resuscitation during the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century might include the use of brandy or other forms of alcohol.…

…brandy is so universally regarded as superior to all other spirits from a medicinal point of view…” and “some hold that the stimulating and restorative effect is referable chiefly to the alcohol…”

”Brandy and whisky were advertised in medical and nursing journals”
