Potential risks

While cold showers are generally safe for most healthy adults,they can come with some risks— especially for individuals with specific medical conditions, warned Dr. Raj Dasgupta, chief medical adviser at Sleepopolis in California.

“Cold exposure constricts the blood vessels and can lead to an increased risk of elevated blood pressure, which could have negative effects for people with heart disease, including hypertension,” he told Fox News Digital via email.

Those who have been diagnosed with cardiovascular problems, such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, may need to avoid cold exposure, since it can put added strain on the heart, warned Dr Dasgupta.
