You may be overthinking things just a bit. Heart attacks can happen at almost any age but the younger you are the less likely you would suffer from such a life changing issue. Eat health foods, exercise daily, and see your physician regularly.

At your age and being obese I would want a test for type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol. Both would have an increase lifetime risk of heart problems but they would be decades from now, not in the next few weeks or years. Investing time in exercise and better eating can make this all better.
