Am I going to die of heart disease?

I just read yahoo's article about type D personalities, I identify with alot of it, both of my grandfathers died of heart disease. And im not exactly the most fit person. I am quite young, so am I destined to die early? or is there still hope, and if there is, what do i need to do?

40% of americans die of heart disease. period. sure if you have a "type D" personality (which ive never even heard of, thought it was just A or B) you might have a very small increased risk.

but anyway, by not smoking, drinking in moderation, keeping their weight reasonable and excercising a couple times a week, versus not doing those things the average peron reduces their risk of diabetes by 90%, heart disease by 70%, and cancer by 60% and add about 10 years to your life expectancy. im not making those numbers up, its something to keep in mind.

but if youre young dont fret and worry about dying... youre decades off from that. dont give yourself too much stress

No, you are not going to die of heart disease if you heed the warning and start taking better care of yoru body now.

(1) Eat right;
(2) Exercise; and
(3) Learn to handle stress in safe, approopriate ways.
Hello there you need to go to your Dr and talk to him/her about your worries,as they are the only qualified people to help you on this,i hope all goes well for you
Only God knows.

I would take steps to live a healthier lifestyle and get a physical. Other than that, you never really know, so just live, love, and be happy.
Get off the couch, or chair. Live life to the fullest as much as possible then at least when you die, you die with a smile on your face. Life is short regardless of when or how!! Cherish every moment.
That's quite a big question to answer. My opinion is that you wont. But its best to ask the people who has studied the heart for many years: Cardiologists.
Well, you did not mention what type of personality that D is. This is what I think. Try not to stress out too much on the small things in life and if you have a lot of anger in your life let it go. As for your grandfathers dying of heart disease, that depends on their age. This is something you can bring up to your doctor on your next visit and find out what he says. In the mean time. chill out and enjoy your life.
