My grandmother on my father’s side dropped dead at 40 while anging clothes from a massive heart attack with no previous signs.

My grandfather (also father’s side) had bypass surgery after a heart attack when he was fifty and numerous surgeries since then (he’s now 70).

My father had his first heart attack when he was 32, then has had bypass surgery 4 times since then, twelve years ago (inlcuding quadruple bypass).

On my mom’s side nobody ever has heart disease (except my aunt who has slow heart rate and a weak heart).

I am 22 years old, have already had two children (preeclampsia with both). I am very overweight, weiging 270 lbs. for the last 2 years. My BP is good (avg. 130/73), and so is my cholesterol (total is below 200 level, but my good is a little low and my bad is a little high). I have very fast resting pulse, and occasionally my heart will skip beats (like a record skipping). Also, random sharp stabbing chest pain.

Even though I’m young, could I have heart disease, or could it be from my severe panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder? I know I need to lose weight (WORKING ON IT), but what are the chances my heart is "bad" or that I am in danger because of it? Thanks for any help!!!

Is this anxiety/panic/PTSD related?
Could it be heart disease?
Does my age mean anything regarding risk factors for heart disease?
