I've heard of people leading healthy lifestyles or eating a good balanced diet, and yet they still get it. Why does that happen? Is there a certain way of lifestyle that increases chances of getting heart attacks?

I have been lifting water buckets and pouring in Washing machine with left hand. After 3 weeks my left side chest was swollen had feeling like pinching in my heart. sometimes unbearable. After consulting and taking medicines I'm fine now but still when I lift anything that weights more than 4-5 kilo's I feel pressure on my heart. I even fail to do simple push-ups. what could be reason and possible treatment for this. I'm male and my age is 30

Please don't indulge in any heavy lifting or exercises until cleared by the doctor. If you have a constant nagging pain or heaviness please seek consultation immediately. Don't self-treat. It can be a muscle pull or muscle tear. As laymen, we shouldn't do our own treatment. Better to consult a specialist so that you get immediate relief from your pain.

When should a healthy individual with strong family history of cardiovascular disease (eg heart attack, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension) start getting screening tests done? And what would the tests be?

You should let her your doctor know about your family’s medical background as soon as possible. She can refer you to a specialist for more help if required. Basic screening tests for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol checks should start in your 20s.I usually go for the ones offered by medical professions engaged by my company. Check with your HR if such things are available. Advanced testing likely not necessary unless your family history points to a specific genetic condition.
