❄️ Why Cold Weather Stresses the Heart ❤️
Cold temperatures cause your blood vessels to tighten, making your blood pressure rise and your heart work much harder.
Healthy hearts can usually keep up — but for people with hypertension, coronary artery disease, or heart failure, the cold can limit oxygen supply to the heart, trigger chest discomfort, and increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
Stay warm, avoid sudden heavy activity outdoors, and listen to your body this season. ❄️❤️
