Heart attack risk rises during the winter months, when cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict and increase strain on the cardiovascular system. Medical experts emphasize that symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden palpitations require immediate medical attention.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) also offers perspectives on how seasonal changes affect the heart and circulation. These approaches focus primarily on long-term prevention and daily health maintenance, including lifestyle habits, stress management, and gentle stimulation of certain acupoints.
