The cold makes my chest hurt / myLot

Canada

January 22, 2019 5:46am CST

Ever since my heart attack and heart surgery the wind and cold makes my chest hurt. I always have to make sure I wear a scarf. That helps with the wind but not the cold so I always bundle up the best I can. I have talked to the cardiologist about it and he said it is normal to feel this way. It is just a reminder of all that I have been through and that I am living with heart disease. I sure will be glad when this winter and cold weather is finally over with. Spring can't come soon enough for me.

I guess it's hard not to worry a little when your chest hurts. I have a friend who is allergic to cold and she has to be very careful about rugging up well. I couldn't believe there was such a condition but it's true.

@Happy2BeMe I was flabbergasted as I'd never heard of it either. You wouldn't think it would be possible.

Scars hurt when it's very cold. I had surgery to my right arm and it hurts when the snow comes and it's very cold.

Yeah I can't wait for winter to end. I think Lily (my cat) can't wait either. She is stuck in the house with me today.

You have to wear thick jackets for protecting your body. It is not easy to keep us warm in winter season. Please take care of yourself.

Wow sorry to hear that. I wonder what the scientific reason behind that is? I noticed although I don’t have heart or asthma issues, it almost feels like the air is harder to breathe in the winter

Cold weather makes your heart work harder to keep your body warm, so your heart rate and blood pressure may increase. Also low temperatures cause your blood vessels and arteries to narrow, restricting blood flow and reducing oxygen to the heart.
