Could a healthy teen get a blood clot?


Question:
A healthy teen who has played basketball all his life. Is 15 years old. Excercises regularly in the sense of basketball practice. The only negative thing is eats a lot of outside food. Fairly underweight. No family members have heart problems.
110 pounds and is 5'7". Could he die from any heart related things?
Never smokes or drinks no drugs as clean as possible?

Answers:
Blood clots are very dangerous and can lead to death if not taken care of. Sounds to me like you are very healthy but need to eat more whole wheats and fiber. try to eat more oatmeal and grain breads, this clears out all of the "yucky" stuff in your system. Also, cardio workouts are good. This causes the heart to pump more and works the blood through the arteries and veins clearing them. Get massages to help with the circulation. IT is very healthy for you.

I do not know if you are worried about this for a reason, but talk to your parents and let them know your concerns. IF this is just a curiousity question just because you want to be healthier, then that is great.
blood clots are always possible.
yes.
Possible yes.

Probably about a 1/1000000000 Chance...

Dont dwell on it it will probably never happen.
Anything can go wrong with the human form, especially in today's disease ridden world.
It's possible, especially if you're on a long plane trip and don't move your legs. Even then, it's extremely rare.
simple answer is yes
but it is less unlikely
if your family's genetic history
is void of heart related health issues
on both sides [mothers and fathers side]
and you dont smoke at all or drink alchol to excess
eat healthily and get regular exercise
as a general rule
Hi,
Yes as we grow older, cholesterol deposits inside the blood vessels in various parts of the body, including the coronary arteries, causing gradual blockage of blood flow. This gradual narrowing is called atherosclerosis.

The risk factors include:



Cigarette smoking

Diabetes

High blood pressure

Overweight

High cholesterol, and lower values of HDL v the good cholesterol

Lack of physical activity

A family history of heart attacks

Stress, chronic anger and anxiety
Yes but not that often as seen among elderly...Atherosclerosis, the basis for blood clot sets in a later age... The more common cause of sudden cardiac death among young males is arrhythmia
