Do I have to worry about heart disease?
I'm 19 and recently had a check up and was told that I pretty much couldn't get much healthier then I am. I have a family history of heart disease and was wondering if I still have to worry about getting it despite how healthy I am.

I wouldn't worry about it too much at the moment, as you are only 19 but as long as you maintain your healthy lifestyle as you get older you have a good chance of escaping it. keep going for regular check ups though.

Yes, you are at risk. You are more so at risk if your families members heart disease started before age 50. Keep your weight in check. Regular screenings for diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol are very important. Strive for a high HDL(good cholesterol). Exercise can make that number go higher. You are only 19 so don't stress over it at this point because stress only adds to the risk. Just continue to take good care of yourself and hope for the best.

Since it's about the most likely cause of your death at some point in the future, you should keep that in mind! Eat right, exercise regularly, don't smoke, don't drink too much, and don't engage in "risky behaviors" and you'll probably be fine....

if you read my answer i dont know if you not worry or you happy this is my answer: The Symptoms of Heart Disease Poor Sleep, low energy, fatigue, exertion, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, pain in the arms or legs, the feeling of needing a nap. A Heart attack means a portion of your heart has died from oxygen starvation and will not come back to life. Poor blood flow is the problem. When a large portion of the heart muscle dies, so do you. Almost everyone over 30 is at risk of heart disease because arteries start accumulating plaque when you are much younger. There are only a few good options that will reverse or prevent a Heart Attack. Drugs won't do it, controlling your cholesterol and blood pressure will only delay the big one for a little while. Bypass surgery and Angioplasty are somewhat effective but most often have to be repeated every few years. The bad part of surgery is, it causes physical and mental health problems and only addresses the large blockages that are easy to clean. When you have small blockages it's called Congestive Heart Failure and the Doctor can't do anything for it. When a Doctor does Angioplasty, a balloon on the end of a catheter is inserted into your artery to squash the offending plaque against the wall of your artery, it is then held captive with a metal wire stent. The catheter passing through the arteries often damage the arteries and cause plaque to be scraped off in large chunks, that plaque is flushed through your body and may end up in the brain causing paralysis, mental deficiencies, or a stroke. After surgery you will still have Heart disease, because the plaque buildup under the stent and in other areas of your body has not been removed. The catheter cannot get to and clean the small arteries and arterioles that cause congestive heart disease. The Medical industry exists to profit on your poor health. They are trying to make you believe cholesterol and blood clots are the cause of heart disease when calcium is the real cause. Impossible you say, your doctor says calcium is good for you, it's just not true, on a daily basis your body becomes saturated with calcium, way too much calcium. Almost everything you eat and drink has lots of calcium in it. This unneeded calcium floats around your body till it finds a place to build up, the result is: your heart and arteries get plaque buildup, the panaceas and liver get plugged and you get Diabetes, when your joints get plugged you get Arthritis and Osteoporosis, the same thing goes for Prostate, Thyroid disease, along with Macular Degeneration of the eyes, Tinnitus (ringing) in the ears, Kidney stones, Gallstones, Lupus, maybe Alzheimer's and other diseases. I also strongly believe it starts Cancer by causing irritation that leads to inflammation then mutation of the body cells. Doctors providing Angioplasty or Bypass Surgery offer only a one time stopgap, this partial treatment often leads to further heart problems and much more on going treatment. Surgery leaves your body a physical wreck and it takes many months, just to be able to breathe without pain. I've had many customers say "the Doctor rushed me into surgery, I wasn't able to say no." Now these customers have medicated Stents that were designed to prevent blood clots and yet they have to take Plavix daily to prevent blood clots. Some Doctors keep them on Plavix for years, at a great expense. America is drowning under the debt load caused by ridiculous medical costs and the fact that you only receive treatments forever instead of cures. Today's modern Medical Industry was created by Americas most notorious robber Baron, John D. Rockefeller. A wonderful friend of mine had an angioplasty that left him paralyzed on the left side of his body, after three months of not being able to walk or talk he took his life. Many people have experienced similar tragedies caused by surgery. I know first hand because Doctors killed me twice during an Angioplasty and left a stent cocked at an angle blocking 80% of an arteries blood flow in the center of my heart. They said "We are sorry but we can't get it in and we can't get it out, it seems your only option is a heart transplant, unfortunately you don't qualify for a heart transplant because you are over 50 and you don't have any dependant children living with you." I didn't believe them, and after researching the problem I developed Angioprim. I quickly discovered that Angioprim was able to dissolve the plaque that was under the stent and I was able restore blood flow to the artery the Doctors failed to do.

You need to be a bit more practical. You said your family has a history of heart disease. Are the diseases they had congenital or hereditary? Heart attacks at old age are not. If not you don't have too much to worry about for at least a decade or three. If so you should be screened for those specific diseases periodically. Also the first likely symptom of heart disease is a heart murmur. It is an incorrect sounding heart beat. Any doctor can tell you if you have one. It only takes a moment to check.
