DANVILLE, Pa. As we prepare for what looks to be the first big snowstorm of the season, Geisinger is reminding us to be safe while shoveling snow.
Big snowstorms like the one predicted this week can happen often here in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. With that comes lots of shoveling. And with that, comes injuries. Shoveling snow is exercise. It is going to increase your heart rate and blood pressure. That being said, if you are starting to feel a little dizzy and lightheaded or like an elephant is sitting on your chest, you need to stop, said Deb Erdman, GMC Outreach Injury Prevention Trauma Coordinator.
