Stay Warm, Stay Calm, Stay Heart-Safe – CMC Ludhiana’s Cardiologist Warns Against Cold Weather Heart Risks
Ludhiana, October 2025 – As winter sets in across North India, health experts are urging heart patients to be extra careful. Dr. Gurbhej Singh, MD, DM (Cardiology), Head of the Department of Cardiology at Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana, has shared ten vital precautionary tips to protect the heart during cold weather.
Dr. Gurbhej Singh explained that low temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to higher blood pressure and increased strain on the heart. “Winter is a testing season for cardiac health, especially for elderly and high-risk patients,” he said.
He advised heart patients to stay warm, avoid early morning walks, maintain light physical activity indoors, and take medications regularly without interruption. A balanced diet, proper hydration, and regular monitoring of blood pressure and sugar levels are key to preventing cardiac complications.
Dr. Gurbhej Singh also cautioned against smoking, alcohol consumption, and stress, noting that these habits significantly increase the risk of heart attacks in cold weather. He emphasized the importance of recognizing early warning signs such as chest pain, breathlessness, or unusual fatigue — and seeking immediate medical help.
> “Simple preventive steps can save lives. Keep your body warm, your mind calm, and your heart protected this winter,” said Dr. Gurbhej Singh.
