Heart attach chances ?
Posted: 08-21-08 18:54pm
im 17 turning 18 next month im 5'4' about
210 IBS. im overwieght/ibese i kno.
my grandfather had his heart attacks in
his 40's. and his father had a hear
tcondtionion and back
my grandma never had a heart attack/heart
condition
my mom was once 300 IBS and she never had
a heart attack she lost her weight and has
a heart valve problem
my dad has never had a heart attack. i
asked mydad about his heart here was his
response "Well, I've been checked from
time to time, but have never found any
heart problems. I have a slight case of
asthma that is attributed to allergies,
and I have high blood pressure that I
control with medication. My mom is 66 and
has never had any heart problems, and she
has always fought with her weight. My
grandparents on my mother's side both had
heart attacks, but were well into their
60's when they had them. They both had
colon cancer in their 70's, though. That's
something you'll have to keep in the back
of your mind when you get older. My grand
dad on my dad's side died of a stroke when
he was 58, which I'm fairly sure was
attributed to high blood pressure. As far
as I know, my dad's mom never had any
health problems, and died about ten years
ago when she was 90. My dad seems to have
pretty decent cardiac health, although I
haven't talked to him in over a year, so
I'm not 100% sure how well he's doing
these days. I do know that he's never had
any heart problems to date."
now based off that wat r the odds of me
having aheart attack at age 17/18

What is your sex?
Do you smoke?
Have you ever checked your blood levels of
glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and
creatinin?
What are your blood pressure values?

The risk for you getting an heart attack
is very small.
