A member asked:
Heart rate decreases to 53-54 in cold temprature 15- 16 c causing increased bp and discomfort. what is the issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold weather: Cold can induce the heart arteries to spasm causing a lack of blood flow to the heart muscle and cause the symptoms you feel. Cold can also worsen angina from obstructive coronary artery narrowing. You should avoid such situations and seek medical consultation immediately.
