Fat lips are the result of damaged tissue, usually caused when you get hit in the lip by something or if your lip has been pierced. Some people even wake up with fat lips for no apparent reason, although the culprit is usually a bug bite or a pimple. You can treat your injured lips to reduce the swelling and pain.

1. Take a look at the inside and outside of your mouth. Look for any bruising.
2. Make a cold compress. Wrap ice cubes inside a wad of paper towels or a washcloth.
3. Apply the compress to your mouth for 10 minutes. It will numb the area and reduce the swelling.
4. Press the compress against the inside and outside of your lip.

Know that thrombolytic drugs will likely be administered within an hour after arriving at the hospital to help dissolve any blood clots that may be blocking coronary arteries.

Understand that a number of additional medications may be given to treat your heart attack. These include anticoagulants to remove clotting, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to reduce blood pressure, antiplatelet drugs (such as clopidogrel) and beta blockers to treat an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat.

Anticipate that your physician may want to perform an angioplasty, a non-surgical procedure that can alleviate clogged arteries. This is achieved by inserting a tiny catheter with a balloon on one end through a blood vessel leading to the blocked artery. The balloon is then inflated to force the plaque against the wall of the artery and clear a path for blood flow.

Know that a coronary artery bypass grafting may be completed if there is significant arterial blockage that increases your risk of another heart attack. This surgical procedure borrows arteries or veins from other areas of the body to form a bypass around the blocked arteries to provide an alternate route for blood to circulate.

Recognize that treatment doesn't stop once you've left the hospital. In fact, you will likely find yourself a member of the "Cardiac Club" in which a cardiac rehabilitation team will work with you to provide counseling on nutrition and exercise to help you avoid a future heart attack.
