I am 19 yrs old i work out 4-5 times a week and eat healthy what are the chances i get a heart attack?

  • i worry alot abt my heart and i was just nwondering what are the chances i eat healthy and i work out alot but what are the chances of a heart attack?

  • Answer:

    You should stop worrying. That is also a risk factor for increasing cardiac events! Maintain a healthy life style and continue your work out and be happy. At 19 years, your chance of getting heart attack is very low, unless you have a strong family history and smoke.

Any genetic risk factors? Do you smoke? Do you have a history of any sort with heart problems. Do you consume drugs of any sort? If no to all the above then the risk is EXTREMELY LOW.

Almost zero for the next 5-10 years, unless you have an outrageous family history of people dying young from heart disease. I have treated 2 teenagers with real (not drug related) heart attacks in 20 years. The five major risk factors for heart attack are 1 Family history of heart attacks 2 Smoking 3 Diabetes 4 Bad Cholesterol (too much "bad" or too little "good") 5 High Blood pressure If you don't have any of these it would be very unlikely for you to have a heart attack before your 60's. You could have your cholesterol checked, but that's all the work up you would need. Keep taking good care of yourself!

In next 30 years, 0.

If there is family history I would be concerned, but it sounds like you are on the right track already. Just try keep it up. into your later years, that's where most of old people(20s,30s,40s,50s.60s) blow it.
