Weight loss: Will be critical in the long run. make sure you get checked for sleep apnea as well as it connects with high blood pressure. Depending on blood tests, cholesterol level specifically, family history, etc your physician may be able to calculate a cardiac risk. Diet and exercise are key long term.

Save thyself!: In such situations, one great asset is self-awareness. Feeling that a heart attack is in one's future means he is aware he needs to hit the reset button on his life, right now. Generally, getting to a healthy is a first step. That means stop eating all that stuff. Of course, one must stay away from (and not associate with people who use) abusable drugs, excessive alcohol, any type of smoking.
