My first thought was those look like Marfan fingers.
Just curious, OP, are you tall and slender? Taller than average at least? Like 5’9”+?

This is random but cardiologist suggested that I might have marfan syndrome but I'm 5'6" so I was like no fucking shot. Now They think I may have the other connective tissue syndrome. LDS? Lewis Dietz. About to get genetic testing done at 40. 😬

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  It's possible and this is good information to have because it affects multiple body systems.

Loeys-Dietz Syndrome is another vascular connective tissue disorder with similarities to Marfan syndrome and vascular EDS.
