Certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, drug use, and not exercising, can increase your risk of having a heart attack.
Usually, heart attack odds for male at birth go up at age 45. For women, it rises at 50 or when menopause begins.
Health conditions like high blood pressure, unhealthy eating habits, diabetes, and obesity can lead to a heart attack.
If your parents or siblings had a heart attack, especially at a younger age, chances are higher that you could have one, too.
Carrying extra weight is another risk factor tied to heart attacks.
People with South Asian heritage are more likely to have the condition compared to other ancestries.
Heart attacks and pregnancy are also connected, although your chances are low. But they can happen both during pregnancy and after you give birth.
Being stressed all the time also makes it less likely for you to get enough exercise or eat healthy foods. These things raise your chances of a heart attack.
