A member asked:
Is it irrational for a 23 year old to be scared of heart attack and stroke? no one in my family has heart disease or has had heart attacks. my grandpa has had a stroke but its not hereditary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
it is not rational. Strokes can run in some families and gallop in others. The biggest risk for stroke at any age is the blood pressure. Avoid high blood pressure and many other things by keeping BMI less that 25 and eating a DASH diet.
