Should I Be worried???

Younger Brother had a stroke , this was the cause .

Heart problems run in Male family , Dating back to Great Grandfather, so far,

I had Heart Attack 2009 stent's fitted in left side, then Younger brother ( does not smoke Drinks Slightly) has stroke 5-7 years later. Diagonised as above,

Should I get checked out ,

Recent Heart trace okay 3 weeks ago ( Practice Nurse @Gp's ),
