HEART disease - one of the biggest killers in the UK - is characterised by difficulty pumping blood around the body. Some studies have shown that several habits could trigger an event, one of which may occur in the shower.
Heart attack is understood mainly in terms of its association with other comorbidities (having more than one condition concurrently), such as high cholesterol and hypertension. A sudden halt in blood flow to the heart can dangerously starve the organ of oxygen, although people are still conscious and breathing. One habit in the shower could precipitate the onset of symptoms.
A heart attack also is called a myocardial infarction. The usual cause of sudden blockage in a coronary artery is the formation of a blood clot."

If anyone’s wondering, it’s because of cold water quickly shrinking the smaller blood vessels in the body which increases cardiovascular pressure temporarily. Solution: pre-warm your shower.
Thank you
Doesn’t everybody already do that?
thanks for giving the concise version, rarestia!
I guess I have to quit the Polar Bear Club.
This is a clown show. Any excuse for a heart attack is given besides the real cause..the poison in the arm
>>>A heart attack also is called a myocardial infarction. The usual cause of sudden blockage in a coronary artery is the formation of a blood clot.”
Now, isn’t myocardial infarction also caused by the Covid shot, one of the side effects?
Prelude to state control of your shower.
“Solution: pre-warm your shower.”
Who the Hell doesn’t?
I take cold showers only from June 1 - Sep 1. Much more refreshing.
Who doesn’t do that?
We bought a house with a small recirculation pump at the water heater. What a joy that is! Almost instant hot water anywhere in the house, even at the farthest points. It must be working — no shower heart attacks here.
Headline could have mentioned that this is about COLD water showers and lowered the level of fear porn.
Now, jumping into a cold river, ocean, or pool is a different story.
The article is poorly written and takes forever to get to the point. Meanwhile a zillion pop up ads interfere with reading it.
Well liberals don’t have to worry... they don’t shower or bathe!
Haha - smartphone message:
“Comrade, we see you have been running the shower more than 5 min.
Your water rates just doubled.”
“Solution: pre-warm your shower.”
Only a masochist wouldn’t do that, I’m thinking.
