Every time I go for my somewhat yearly physical, I tell the Dr about my family history of heart disease, and ask if I should have a stress test. Every time he says, no you have nothing that indicates you need one.
Pretty much every body on my father’s side has had a heart attack. One uncle had a heart transplant. My Dad had a quadruple bypass(he went for a stress test, a week later he had the bypass). And one of my male cousins had a heart attack. I am wondering if I should insist on having one.
I'm either lucky, or have a particular habit that helps.
