A member asked:

Am 19f and worried about heart failure/strokes. been diagnosed neck radiculopathy and heart palpitations. lived a sedentary life developmental years(14-18 minimal movement mostly in bed) my veins constrict very tiny at night. numb/pain in left side?

Appears to be much missing information, which is crucial to interpret this unusual history for a 19 yo female. Would wonder about a genetic or congenital disorder. Too complex a presentation to provide rational impressions. Would urge a more comprehensive evaluation via virtual consult (www.connect@healthtap.com). If not done previously, suggest evaluation at local medical school.

I suggest that you have too much health anxiety. Radiculopathy doesn't predispose you to strokes. If you have a normal EKG& echocardiogram you shouldn't be concerned about heart failure. Palpitations need outpatient heart monitoring to determine if they're significant. They may be from anxiety.Numb,pain in left side is nebulous. See a neurologist for evaluation. Vein change at night is nonspecific
