Hi Dr Vivek, I am 43 years old male non smoker and teetotaler. I am 5.11 inches tall and 85 kgs. My question is although I play badminton 2-3 times a week and go for walks on n off, I am still worried about my heart health and mere pain while lying down in bed makes me nervous. What are the tests I can go for to make sure that the heart health is good and what why do healthy people like me who are not obese or diabetic get heart attack?

Ans: Focus on healthy lifestyle rather than worrying about heart attacks. For a person with intermediate risk I would have advised a 2d echo and ct coronary angiography for screening. But you have not highlighted any risk factors in your information. So get a basic lipid profile homocysteine sugar and bp check to identify if you have any silent risk factors. If not then focus on ur healthy lifestyle and diet. Apparently Healthy people get heart attacks because they are not in reality healthy. They may have genetic factors sedentary lifestyle substance abuse bad cholesterol or sugar bp or may indulge in excessive unsupervised exercise
