I am 22 years old and already have heart disease....I was born with it, but was wondering if I was the only young person on here that has it?

It's not a disease but i have cardiomegaly. Cardiomegaly is abnormal enlargement of the heart. It was caused because I have a really weak heart muscle. I have a really hard time breathing sometimes. Good luck with your heart! Keep a positive attitude! I hope you'll get better!

Oh, you're not alone. But in this case misery does NOT love company. I had my first heart attack at the age of seven. My nephew died at age 19. His heart was tremendously enlarged. I am now 60 and so far have survived heart attacks, congestive heart failure, angina, etc. Whatever you do never smoke or drink excessively, and do exercize according to your doctor's advice. Exercize, aerobic work outs, and so forth do more for the heart than anythng. A short brisk walk also is very helpful. You will live longer and have a much more fullfilling life if you use good common sense and follow your doctors' instructions. Good luck.

I have a broken heart, caused by, she knows who she is...concerning your situation, heart disease is usually something that runs in the family, either mom or dads side of the family. Take your medication and I wish you good luck babe.

I got blocked tubes, but it didn't catch up to me until I was like 46 or so. Bummer, still.
Careful what you eat. It could **** you up someday.
