(Area) The American Heart Association urges people to be aware of the risks of deadly holiday heart attacks. Research shows that more people die from heart attacks during the last week of December than at any other time of the year.
Dr. Elaine Berry, Chief Medical Officer at Cass Health, said to be aware of the following symptoms.
Dr. Berry said if you are in a time of conflict or anxiety over the holidays, take deep breaths and step out of the room a little bit, take a walk, do not over-indulge in a lot of alcohol or caffeine as those things can raise your blood pressure and your pulse, and get plenty of sleep.
