I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

Yes, it is possible for a 23 year old to have heart problems. One possible reason could be a condition called "congenital heart disease," which means the person is born with a heart defect. Other reasons could include infections, inflammatory conditions like myocarditis, or even lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or substance abuse. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
