What are the chances of a 19 year old having a heart attack?

What are the chances of a 17 year old to have a heart attack?

  • I'm asking cause I feel a slight discomfort on my chest and my left arm aches a bit. Nothing serious but I'm a very paranoid person and I do go through stress and have anxiety problems. How would a heart attack feel?

  • Answer:

    Very rare unless he is smoker ( I have seen young smokers dying of coronary thrombosis) with family history of heart disease, high cholesterol and sedentary habit.

The chance of someone your age having a heart attack is extremely unlikely. The incidence of person under the age of 34 experiencing a heart attack is one in 30,000. (in the USA) The younger a person is the less likely. Heart attacks in 20 year olds are so rare they do not appear on any heart attack statistical charts. Most people under 20 do not have a so called "classic" heart attack as when a coronary artery is partly or fully blocked. A teen with a heart condition was most likely born with the defect. At your age it is more likely a pulled muscle. If the pain continues tell your parents about it and you want to see a doctor
