should i keep reminding my parents i have heart disease even if they get mad at me

should i keep reminding my parents i have heart disease even if they get mad at me?
i have mild heart disease, and there are certain things i can and cant eat and do, but when my parents ask me why, they get mad at me for saying its heart disease because they say im exaggerating. Should i teach them until they get it or should i just say 'yep your right' and take care of myself quietly? (i thought this was something you were supposed to talk with your family with)

I might try to educate them about the heart disease and some of the restrictions it causes. They might understand better then.

It's difficult to teach things to people they don't want to learn. Eat right and leave the food you don't want alone.
3 :
No, you are using your disease to manipulate them. I'm sure they know you have a disease. Learn to take care of yourself, because sooner or later you'll have to any how. You might politely remind your mom when she's cooking that something is not on the list of things you can eat. Don't be a smart ass like some kids do.

If your parents arent understanding and you try to talk to them and it dosent do any good you still do need to take care of yourself I understand your dillema I have some health issues and my parents never understand and it feels like they dont try to either! I talk to them and they pretend to understand and the day after I tell them they're back to not caring. Hope this helped

I'm sure that any type of forms such as depression and whatever else will increase the likelyhood of something else happening..... well ...not SURE SURE, just my opinion, seems that it would
3 :
I'm certainly no doctor but I would assume that depression would increase heart disease due to the fact that depression leads to stress. Stress is a often a large factor in one's health.
4 :
I know that depression can physically affect your entire body, so I wouldn't be surprise if it increased heart disease. I haven't seen any studies, though.
5 :
It deffinitly increases Heart Disease

The body mass index I can be used to determine an individuals risk for heart disease. An index less than 25

The body mass index I can be used to determine an individuals risk for heart disease. An index less than 25?
indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula, or model I=700W/h2where w=weight, in pounds and h=height in inches. Jerome is 71 inches tall. What weights will keep his body mass index between 22 and 33?
