At risk.

Did you remember to turn your clocks back by one hour before you went to bed last night? Are you still alive? According to an article in the Express, all this changing of clocks twice a year is enough to trigger a heart attack or stroke. 
“However, previous research has linked the transitions to and from daylight saving time with higher rates of accidents as well as an increased risk of stroke and heart attack."
Here is the full article. 

The article has also appeared in Microsoft News.  This is the way journalists spread it around to earn their money Who is paying them? 

The expert warned that this seemingly small change can increase your risk of major medical emergencies, like heart attacks and strokes by a whopping 70 percent. Older patients and those at higher risk of heart disease are at increased risk with the clocks changing.

And if that hasn't frightened you enough, there is plenty of fear porn in the Express.
