Shoveling snow can be more strenuous on your heart than many people realize. Cold temperatures, heavy lifting, and sudden exertion can increase the risk of chest pain, shortness of breath, and other cardiac symptoms.

To shovel more safely:
• Warm up first and start slowly
• Take frequent breaks and avoid rushing
• Push snow when possible instead of lifting
• Lift small amounts at a time and keep loads close to your body
• Stay hydrated and avoid holding your breath while lifting
• Stop immediately if you feel chest pressure, dizziness, or unusual fatigue
