I'm almost 40 years old, my dad died of a sudden heart attack at age 60, his father died after his 5th heart attack. We are going to lose our insurance in a few months, if I need to do something about this then I need to do it now. This would of course involve another complete history and physical by a whole other physician, maybe even a cardiologist. Your family history alone make it concerning that you could have as yet undiagnosed coronary artery disease which of course is not treated if it is as yet undiagnosed. I hope you find this information useful.
