Can a 15 year old suffer from a stroke heart attack or heart failure if the have a family history of diabetes?

Question

Yeah im 15 years old a started to fill pains on the right side of my chest do you think its high blood pressure last time i checked mine it was 130/80 and i have family history with high blood pressure and i also have a family history with diabetes to think i've been diagnosied with these diseases

Answer 1

no because when you if you feel pain caused by heart problems, you feel it on the left.
but i'm no doctor, so i would talk one, cuz who knows what IS causing it.

i don't think your going to have a heart-attack, there are many other things that can cause that pain.


=]
Hope u feel better!

o and if ur asking if it's physically possible than yes it is, but it is VERY rare.

Answer 2

Infants can experience strokes and heart failure. Anyone can. But, it is rare for kids.

High blood pressure is known as the secret killer because there are very few symptoms. At 15, 130/80 probably puts you in the top 1% for blood pressure. You can check the pediatric blood pressure charts which are online. Also check out the recommended weight for children of your height.

My opinion is that you should be under medical care from a pediatrician and a pediatric cardiologist who will probably provide you with blood pressure medication. Diabetes and blood pressure issues are more common in obese people. If you are overweight, you should also be under the care of a nutritionist and fitness trainer at a health center.

Ask your parents to take you for a visit to your pediatrician. Take the online blood pressure chart for juveniles even though your doctor should already have a copy. You can ask your doctor for a recommendation to a nutritionist.

Some children grow up in families that are not health conscious. I did. It is hard for children to strike out on their own and try to become healthy, but the struggle is certainly worthwhile.

Answer 3

Sounds like an anxiety attack. While it is possible for a 15 year old to have any of these conditions, it is very unlikely, Your heart is on the left side of your chest, so clearly it is not a heart attack. Your blood pressure is a lttle high, but you don't tell us your weight, so who knows?

A family history of diabetes does not mean you have it already, unless it is a history of juvenile diabetes. A simple test will tell your doctor if your blood sugar has been elevated for a while. You sound like you need counseling or therapy.

Answer 4

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

Anyone at any age can have a stroke or heart attack. If you have it in your family; you need to keep in close contact with a good heart doctor. You need to do what he tells you so you will live a long full filled life. If you watch your diet you can live a long time. You need exercise. Your doctor will tell you what you can and should not do to help your heart.
Take care.

Answer 6

you can but the chances are very slim. if there is a history in your family tho (its the same with me) now would be a great time for you to start workin on your healthy eating habits. trust me the older you get the harder it will be for you. also it dont hurt to maybe check your blood sugar once in a while. i do it just to make sure im still in the clear. its just good to know.

Answer 7

very unlikley unless you have congenital problems or morbidly obese. your blood pressure really isn't all that high and could be due to anxiety. but these all need to be verified by a physician. your risk can increase if you are female and on birth control pills....but again....15 is very young to suffer from either of these things.

Answer 8

You need a physical exam by a good Dr. and if he gives you a clean bill of health forget about it. Your too young to start worrying about things like that. Enjoy life while you can.
