Dear user,
Thanks for you query on health care magic.
From your description it seems you genetic connective tissue disorder, that is marfan syndrome. it is a autosomal dominat disorder, that mean there high probability that it will also transfer to your children.
if your one of the parents also have similar features then your brother or sister may also suffering from this syndrome.
It can present as wide variability of clinical features and their severity, so regular follow up with clinician is required.
Hope this information will help.
Regards
