Deputy Medical Officer of Health suggests taking breaks and not overdoing it.
The massive snowfall in the Kingston area means clearing snow from our driveways, paths and sidewalks will take some time.
Southeast Public Health Deputy Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Linna Li says it's quite a cardio workout too, so pace yourself.
Dr. Li says taking those breaks before overdoing it can be a lifesaver. That's why when you're tired, take a breather.
If you suspect you're having a heart attack, don't hesitate, call 9-1-1.
The Doctor also says when it comes to clearing it, don't try to be a hero.
Don't over exert yourself, take breaks and keep your heart health in mind. And make sure you have a good shovel and use a method so you don't hurt your back.
Again, if you start to notice signs of a heart attack call for help right away.
