W ell, we know that althoughwe’ve had some recordwarm temperatures, soon-
er or later there will be a snow storm. The American Heart Association
says that for most people, shovelingsnow may not lead to any healthproblems. However, the risk of aheart attack during snow shovelingmay increase for some due to thecombination of colder temperaturesand physical exertion, whichincreases the workload on the heart.
People who are outdoors in coldweather should avoid sudden exer-tion, like lifting a heavy shovel full ofsnow. Even walking through heavy,wet snow or snow drifts can strain aperson’s heart.
“For people with existing heart con-ditions like heart failure, high bloodpressure or cholesterol, the increasedworkload on the heart from activitiessuch as shoveling of heavy snow, canput them at higher risk for heartattack,” said James Lyons, MD, FACC,cardiologist with The Heart Center atHealth Quest and board member ofthe American Heart Association.
To help make snow removal safer,the American Heart Association hascompiled a list of practical tips.
• Give yourself a break. Take fre-quent rest breaks during shoveling soyou don’t overstress your heart. Payattention to how your body feels dur-ing those breaks.
• Don’t eat a heavy meal prior orsoon after shoveling. Eating a largemeal can put an extra load on yourheart.
• Use a small shovel or consider asnow thrower. The act of lifting heavysnow can raise blood pressure acute-ly during the lift. It is safer to liftsmaller amounts more times, than tolug a few huge shovelfuls of snow.When possible, simply push thesnow.
• Learn the heart attack warningsigns and listen to your body, butremember this: Even if you’re not
sure it’s a heart attack, have itchecked out (tell a doctor about yoursymptoms). Minutes matter! Fastaction can save lives — maybe yourown. Don’t wait more than five min-utes to call 9-1-1
• Don’t drink alcoholic beveragesbefore or immediately after shovel-ing. Alcohol may increase a person’ssensation of warmth and may causethem to underestimate the extrastrain their body is under in the cold.
• Consult a doctor. If you have amedical condition, don’t exercise ona regular basis or are middle aged orolder, meet with your doctor prior tothe first anticipated snowfall.
• Be aware of the dangers ofhypothermia. Heart failure causesmost deaths in hypothermia. To pre-vent hypothermia, dress in layers ofwarm clothing, which traps airbetween layers forming a protectiveinsulation. Wear a hat because muchof your body’s heat can be lostthrough your head.
Heart Attack Warning SignsSome heart attacks are sudden and
intense — the “movie heart attack,”where it is clear what’s happening.But most heart attacks start slowly,with mild pain or discomfort. Oftenpeople affected aren’t sure what’swrong and wait too long before get-ting help. Here are signs that canmean a heart attack is happening:
• Chest discomfort. Most heartattacks involve discomfort in thecenter of the chest that lasts morethan a few minutes, or that goes awayand comes back. It can feel likeuncomfortable pressure, squeezing,fullness or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of theupper body. Symptoms can includepain or discomfort in one or botharms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath with or with-out chest discomfort.
• Other signs may include breakingout in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness
• As with men, women’s most com-mon heart attack symptom is chest

pain or discomfort. But womenare somewhat more likely thanmen to experience some of theother common symptoms, par-ticularly shortness of breath,nausea/vomiting, and back orjaw pain.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost alwaysthe fastest way to get lifesavingtreatment. It is best to callEmergency Medical Services(EMS) for rapid transport to theemergency room. EMS staff canbegin treatment when theyarrive — up to an hour soonerthan if someone gets to the hos-pital by car. Patients with chestpain who arrive by ambulanceusually receive faster treatmentat the hospital, too. If you can’taccess EMS, have someone driveyou to the hospital right away. Ifyou’re the one having symp-toms, don’t drive yourself, unlessyou have absolutely no otheroption.
Heart attacks can cause sud-den cardiac arrest, where theheart stops beating, or beatsirregularly, failing to pumpenough blood. One moment, a
person can be walking and talking,and the next moment they collapse,lifeless. They will be unresponsive,not breathing or only gasping. Theirlips will start to turn blue and skinwill become pale. Quick recognitionand fast action is the key to saving alife.
What You Can DoBystanders can help cardiac arrest
victims survive, if they act fast. First,call 9-1-1 and start CPR right away.Then, if an Automated ExternalDefibrillator (AED) is available, use itas soon as possible. If two people areavailable to help, one should beginCPR immediately while the othercalls 9-1-1 and finds an AED.
Hands Only CPR is effective in sav-ing lives during cardiac arrest.Hands-Only CPR has just two simplesteps. If you see a teen or adult sud-denly collapse,
(1) Call 9-1-1; and(2) Push hard and fast in the center
of the chest to the beat of the discosong “Stayin’ Alive” (100 beats perminute) until help arrives.

Check the oil and filter and be dili-gent about changing them at recom-mended intervals. Dirty oil can spelltrouble in winter. Consider changingto “winter weight” oil if you live in acold climate. Check the fuel, air andtransmission filters at the same time.
Check engine performance beforewinter sets in. Winter magnifies exist-ing problems such as hard starts, slug-gish performance or rough idling.
Check the brakes. The braking sys-tem is the vehicle’s most importantsafety item.
Check the exhaust system for car-bon monoxide leaks, which can be es-pecially dangerous during coldweather driving when windows areclosed.
Check to see that exterior and inte-rior lights work and headlights areproperly aimed.
During winter, drivers should keeptheir vehicle’s gas tank at least half-full
to decrease the chances of moistureforming in the gas lines and possiblyfreezing. Motorists should also checkthe tire pressure of the spare in thetrunk and stock an emergency kit withan ice scraper and snowbrush, jumpercables, flashlight, blanket, extraclothes, bottled water, dry food snacksand needed medication.

“The last two winters broughtrecord-setting snowfall.

costly repair bill.”The non-profit Car Care Council
recommends checking the followingareas of your vehicle so it is roadready when severe winter weatherstrikes.
Check the battery and charging sys-tem for optimum performance. Coldweather is hard on batteries.
Check the antifreeze. As a generalrule of thumb, clean, flush and putnew antifreeze in the cooling systemevery two years.
Check that heaters, defrosters andwipers work properly. Consider win-ter wiper blades and use cold weatherwasher fluid.
Check the tire tread depth and tirepressure. If snow and ice are a prob-lem in your area, consider specialtires designed to grip slick roads. Dur-

T he cost of home ownershipcan be considerable. One ofthe expenses that hits first-
time homeowners the hardest uponmoving into their new homes is themonthly energy bill. While utility billsfor apartment dwellers rarely breakthe bank, those bills grow consider-ably when men and women are sud-denly lighting, heating and cooling anentire house.
There are some simple ways to trimutility bills no matter how low themercury dips in the coming months.
1. Embrace technology. Technology can help homeowners
control energy costs in various ways.A programmable thermostat allowsmen and women to determine whentheir homes’ thermostats turn on sothey are not paying to heat an emptyhome. In addition to programmablethermostats, homeowners can pur-chase real-time electricity monitorsthat allow them to track usage andmonitor individual rooms and circuitsso they can determine where in theirhomes, if anywhere, they are need-lessly wasting energy. In lieu of aporch light you need to leave on allnight, install motion-detecting lightsso you aren’t paying to light porchesand walkways that are not being used.
2. Inspect windows and doors.Windows and doors are often to
blame when energy bills start to sky-rocket. As homes age, cracks candevelop around windows and doors,allowing precious and expensive heat
to escape. Caulk around any windowsthat have cracks (you may feel a draftaround such windows) and replaceineffective weatherstripping arounddoors, which is noticeable if light isvisible around doors’ edges.
3. Cover the water heater. Water heaters can quickly lose heat,
and that can contribute to higherheating bills as winter temperaturesplunge. Water heater blankets are aninexpensive yet effective investment,as they can help water heaters retainheat longer.
4. Lower the water heater temperature.
Speaking of water heaters, changingtheir temperature is another simpleway to lower utility costs during thewinter. According to Energy.gov,homeowners can save between $12and $30 for each 10° F reduction inwater heater temperature. Manymanufacturers set water heaters at140° F, but setting the heater to 120° Fcan lead to considerable cost savingswithout sacrificing comfort. Anadded and cost-effective benefit tolowering water heater temperature isthat a lower temperature slows min-eral buildup and corrosion in waterheaters and pipes, reducing the likeli-hood of costly repairs while extend-ing the life of the water heater.
Winter temperatures can be harshon homeowners and their wallets. Butthere are many ways for homeownersto reduce their energy bills no matterhow cold it may get this winter.
