Why are you likely to have a heart attack shoveling snow?

Question

I’ve always heard/been told to be careful while shoveling snow, that you’re more likely to have a heart attack. Why would I be more likely then as opposed to exerting myself during normal temperatures?

Answer 1

Full body workout that causes your heart rate to go up faster than expected. If you dont know what that feels like you end up with a BPM in the 180s or higher. Thats not sustainable, and can cause massive damage if you arent careful.
