You can only help yourself here. Eat healthily, exercise regularly, and that will considerably decrease your chances of a heart attack. Fitness and a healthy diet are key to a healthy heart. Smoking also increases your chances of a heart attack, particularly if you have a history of heart problems in your family, as apparently you do.

i'm really sorry, i can understand completely how distressing this could be, my dad died 2 days after my eighth bday due to cancer and he was only 43, but his mum died of cancer in her forties too and recently a distant relative on his side has been diagnosed with cancer, and although its different health issues i know how scary it can be to think 'could it be me?'. i just try and keep it out of my mind because it will eat you up thinking about what [I]could[I] happen to me, just stay strong, i know its a lot to deal with especially at a young age but you never know whats gonna happen in life and you can't just wait for something to happen because it may not. just know that ur not alone and so many kids like us have or are going though it. just try and enjoy life as much as you can.
i hope this has helped in someway :)
