My dad had a huge heart attack at 60 years old. im 19 years old but does that put me at risk for it happening to me?

It depends : Family history at young age is a risk factor for heart attack , but it doesn't mean that you necessary will develop heart attack and it's not clear when it happens... Just try to lower your other risk factors...
