And what about high blood pressure? If you don’t have either, could you still have heart disease?

My family has a lot of history with heart problems, my father has had a heart attack about 5 years ago and my grandfather died of one. High cholesterol also runs on both sides of my family, I’m only 17 but how can I reduce my risk and become healthier?

My mom and dad suffer from high blood pressure,high cholesterol. It run on both sides of the family,that along with diabetes and heart disease. My mom started taking blood pressure medication young,in her later 20’s. My dad suffered from a stroke due to high blood pressure. I am 22yrs old and do not want to suffer this especially while young. Are there any ways I can be proactive about not suffering from those conditions now and later on in life being that it is hereditary? Or do I not have a chance in preventing it?

I have heart disease .. im 36 and both me folks have raised cholesterol , but im thinking, can i reduce my cholestorol by excercising at least 5hours/week? Surely it will raise my HDL and lower my LDL .. but will it be a significant amount ?

Just Wondering asked:


I have very severe fibromyalgia and the Dr. has me take 8 10/325mg tablets of Percocet everyday. I have been doing this now for a few years and I was wondering what the long term effects could be? Can it cause you to have heart problems? The reason I’m asking is because I have been having chest pains the last few weeks. I had a stress test done and it came out fine. However my cholesterol is through the roof. Could the pain be related to high cholesterol?
