"High temperatures, not drinking water, high cholesterol, this combination produced [my] heart attack," said Enrique Barrientos.A few months ago, Barrientos had a heart attack after doing yard work outside his home. After a few weeks of recovering, Barrientos says he felt strong enough to work outside again. However, Barrientos says he didn’t know his blood pressure medication could make the heat more dangerous. As a result, Barrientos says he ended up fainting.
