Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern.
There is a chance that you can have medical issues with your child. I think that you will need to check your genetics for the disease. One thing that you can do will be to get your history checked up. This can be checked by looking for diseases that occur in the family. If these diseases tend to occur again and again in the family, then you need to get checked up.
By looking at the family tree carefully, you will be able to diagnose the disease and also if its male dominant or female dominant. Along with this, identifying the disease or the genes involved can help us get to the percentage of chance of the disease.
Please see a Doctor. All the best. You can follow up with me so I can help you better.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
