Answers:
No one is too young for heart disease!.

The term heart disease just means something wrong with your heart in general, and anyone can have that!.

Teens such as you would have a form of heart disease called Congenital Heart Disease which is where you are born with a heart problem!.

Sometimes they do not detect these things right away when you are born!. Some are not detected until adulthood!.

I would not worry about having something wrong with your heart as it only occurs in 10 out of every 1000 births and usually you will have a heart murmur, which is a certain sound a doctor hears when they listen to your heart!. They would tell you if you had one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

depends how you define heart disease!. If you are talking about heart attacks and things caused by too much fat, than you probably are!. There are, however, some pretty scary genetic abnormalities and diseases that effect the heart that can kill you!. If you get tachycardia (when your heart beats abnormally fast) or arrhythmia (when your heart beats irregularly) you can definitely die, and those types of diseases affect old and young!. They are rare though, and unless you have those particular diseases in your family or you have symptoms I wouldn't worry about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you are not too young for heart disease, but if you don't have a family history of heart problems, are not having any complications such as palpitations, pain or difficulty breathing, then you shouldn't be so concerned!.

If you are concerned about a heart condition, you should voice your concerns directly to your doctor, and if you already did and are unsatisfied, request from your parents that you get a second opinion!. If you think there is something wrong, it is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry!.


To Josh above,
There is never an age too young to have a heart condition!. My nephew was born with heart problems and my best friend died two months before his high school graduation from heart problems!. You are never too young for cardiovascular problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, you are too young to have heart disease!.

To help you stay healthy throughout your life, make sure you eat a lot of vegetables!. They have chemicals, called phytochemicals and antioxidants, that are only found in non-processed plants that help keep your blood vessels and heart healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you are not too young for heart disease!. And a second opinion
is often a good idea!. If it makes you feel better get another doctor to check you out!. Better safe than sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

usually things don't break down until you are done growing, which you won't be for 7 years!. you could be born with heart disease but that is the exception, not the rule!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a news flash about doctors!. They are not always right!. No, you are not too young!. I've had heart disease since the day I was born!. I even had a heart attack when I was your age!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
