Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling that my heart rate speeds up abnormally whenever I engage in activities. I'm questioning whether there might be an issue with my heart and want to consult about it. Do young people get heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Young people can also get heart disease, but it is not very common for it to occur in people in their twenties, so don't worry about it for now. We can discuss improvements in relevant examinations later. In fact, the most common type of heart disease is coronary heart disease. Although the onset age of coronary heart disease has been getting younger in recent years, heart disease in young people is more often seen in relatively rare conditions such as myocarditis, congenital heart disease, and cardiomyopathy. Generally, when young people do develop the disease, the symptoms are usually severe and it is also very easy to diagnose.
