What are the chances of me having a heart attack at age 28? I smoke and am overweight.
Has anyone here known someone personally who had a heart attack at a young age?

I dont think your chances of getting a heart attack are very high…maybe in your 40s or 50s
My cousin is around my age Im 30 he had a heart attack from covid complications but that is very rare

Me, but I was born with a bad heart. You’re probably safe for now, but that will change within ten years.

I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I wish you many more years of life my fellow Canadian.

It’s rare to have a heart attack in your twenties but even some teenagers have had heart attacks. It’s rare though it’s not unheard of. You have to start worrying about heart attacks if you smoke and are overweight in your 40’s.

I really need to live a healthier lifestyle. I keep failing at quitting smoking and eating healthy. I always go back to bad habits.
It’s rather rare getting a heart attack in your 20s
It’s more common over 50

A statistic online said that for people ages 20-29, only 2 people out of 100,000 will have a heart attack.

You have a higher chance of a heart attack from seeing a pair of DD’s than you do from smoking right now

How is your blood work? High blood pressure is a big risk for heart attacks. Another is atherosclerosis and for that Drs test ApoB protein level in the blood, high is bad. Also high LDL cholesterol is another risk.

You should get an annual physical if you have high blood pressure they can catch it early before it does damage
