I am a 28 year old female over weight but otherwise healthy. I suffer from panic attacks I currently became a vegan. My paternal grandfather died if a heart attack from diAbetes. I had an EKG a few years on and blood pressure and chilesterol doctor says are on but I feel I am going to have a heart attack what are the odds I will??
Hello, A positive family history of early heart disease and diabetes puts you at increased risk for heart disease and diabetes, even if you don't have other risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Since you are overweight, your chances increases still further. Dos for you.... Avoid fatty foods and sweetsReduce your calorie intakeReduce your weight and be in your required range of your Mid regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a day. Keep a check on your BP, blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels.De-stress yourself by doing regular yoga. If you develop good dietary habits along with exercises and shedding of weight, even a positive family history won't cause any damage to you. Thanks
