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.
