Get up, move around, do some\u00a0stretches and drink water first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take it easy.<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re shoveling, use a smaller shovel and scoop small amounts of snow. Use a \u00a0snow blower if there\u2019s a lot of snow. If you\u2019re skiing, do a few easy green runs to start. And for any\u00a0activity, take frequent breaks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stop if you experience any symptoms<\/strong>. If you feel any pain in the chest or jaw, pressure in the upper\u00a0body, nausea or shortness of breath, stop shoveling immediately and call 911. Ditto for stroke\u00a0symptoms, such as weakness of the arms or legs, drooping of the face or difficulty speaking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCHealth cardiologist has some advice for staying safe as you head outside to shovel snow. &#8220;The classic medical school textbook photo of a heart attack shows a middle-aged man clutching his chest with one hand and a snow shovel with the other,\u201d said UCHealth cardiologist Dr. Lance Richards.
