My dad had Heart Disease and died 3 years ago, what is the chance I will have heart disease?
I'm worried, and I have chances of breast cancer, diabetes, and I am anemic. I am a girl so I don't know if that changes anything.

you dont state your age, but from you saying you are a girl, I suppose you are young. Your doctor will obviously know about your family medical background, and I would have a talk with him or her if I were you. Heart disease is not always hereditary, but its best to have things checked out anyway. good luck

Women between the ages 20 and 39 should have a doctor examine their breasts at least once every 3 years.
