There is only one right way to handle this. Find out what you can about his family history and your mom's. Then go to your doctor for a really good physical and follow whatever advice you are given. Anything you get off the internet is pishposh at best. Your doctor is the real thing and has the benefit of knowing everything about you.Heart Condition in the family...need advice?
are you also hypertensive? if not, then chances are you don't have it.
I largely agree with the LeChat above me.
A heart condition is not a heart condition is not a heart condition...in other words, there are volumes written on all of the possible things that can go wrong with the heart...some are hereditary, some are not so much...
The point is that it is important to know exactly what the condition is before you make any efforts to address the issue.
Whatever heart condition they had...it has a name. They may not know it, but it has a name. I know you just met these relatives but it is in your best interest to find out just what sort of heart condition they all suffer from. (request medical records if necessary) If they all have the same thing, I would get really interested to learn all I could about it.
With this family history in hand, your doctor will be able to further advise you on what if any precautions you might need to observe. Good luck.
go to webmd.com I use it a lot. Maybe it can help you.
You should take and continue taking Fish Oil, known as Omega-3. They come in pill form in the health section of most stores like Walmart and other reatail stores. That is a very important thing, because it helps promote heart health and good circulation throughout the body!
Do all those healthy things. I was wondering how ';fit'; your real mom and her family are. If they seem to be out of shape there it is a chance that it is not your genes as much as they're social habits. That would mean you may have a better chance if you eat and live healthy.
Good luck.
