You can be any age, my brother in law had a heart attack at the age of 19. But yes you can have one at 16.

It is possible to have one at any age, however the likelihood of having one increases with age.

It sure is. There is no magical age. A variety of factors can bring about a heart attack. It is not necessary to be of a certain age (though it is very rare) before having one. If you believe you've suffered any sort of heart attack, or feel for any reason that you may in the near future, you should see your doctor immediately.

it is possible to have a heart attack at 16
although very rare, most at that age are caused by a pre-existing condition

Panic attack bud. l had one too, see a doctor/psychiatrist to make them stop. Find a way to relieve some stress.

Yes it is possible. It can happen to a baby, but starts becoming more of an issue in youth or puberty years.

Yes it is very possible, you can be much younger than this, even an infant. The reason mostly would be due to some kind of heart disease or ailment that causes it. Not due to problems that older people usually have.

a heart attack is the erratic beating of the heart caused be disrupted electrical signals, so, your old enough to have one as soon as your heart begins to beat

You can have one at any age. Its more unlikely when you are young, buy youth does not make you exempt.

l would imagine it is but not by the usual factor like clogging of arteries. A heart attack at that age would probably come from a blood clot or something else that was floating around. im no expert , just my opinion.

We will if your 16 and are over weight you could have a heart attack. But if your not over weight but your family has a history of heart attacks then l would go to the doctor and have him give you a physical just to check you out.

Yes, you can have a heart attack at that age. If you ask, l think you should go see a doctor - there are so many problems that can be averted by early detection, Please just go see a doctor or nurse.

Anything is possible. But, at your age, it is highly unlikely. Some people in their twenties and thirties have had heart attack but these people typically have been heavy smokers. By the way, classic symptoms of an impending heart attack include pain or pressure in the chest area, shortness of breath, and pain in the extremities, especially the left arm.

yeah, but do not be scared. l am younger than you and l have a tumor! am l died? no, so do not worry. i'm sorry if you have a heart disease. :) <3

It is indeed possible. It is very unlikely. l would make an educated guess that a heart attack so young would be caused by a birth defect, or by an embolism (fat or a blood clot).

Not to alarm you, but yes, it is possible at any age. And like an answerer said above me, it increases with age, etc. We had a boy on the local football team who collapsed on the field. Died of a heart attack. However it was later found that he had an undiagnosed problem to begin with.

Yes. but the person had a pre existing health problem. Then some one else l knew who at 25yrs was running a track and dropped dead of a heart attack. It is unusual but it does happen.

heart attacks dont' discriminate , talk to ur parents STAT see a Dr for an EKG or ER make sure u do not have any heart damage lots of possible senarios to think about r u obese? r u a street drug user or abuser? ? heart diease is herititary? r u a junk food junkie ? r u bulemic anorexic all of this makes u at risk if u did have a heart attack u might discover u have no energy walking is a chore , climbing steps everything makes u tired , u may have a blood clot lurking so its best to tell ur parents u had chest pain u can have an enlarged heart look at the kids in school dying in sports events, so see a dr soon also take a baby aspirin or an aspirin if ur not allergic but thats an important first aid first response if u think ur having a heart issue so u do not stroke out limit ur caffeine & alcohol chocolate if that is ur norm

yes. l actually did when l was 16 due to a viral infection that cut off the blood flow to my heart. its rare but possible. and quite frankly sucks ass lol

27 . WOW.
The reality is that heart attack at 16, while possible, is EXTREMELY rare. It is almost always due to problems with the heart at birth that need to be corrected.
A normal teenager should not worry about heart attack as most will not occur until older than 45.
However, if anyone, regardless of age, is experiencing severe symptoms that r similar to the symptoms of a heart attack, they should report to an ER or dial 911.
Medicine does not have an age limit.
