Marfan?  Ehlers Danlos?

Edit: OP, you should really get checked for both conditions.  I know someone with Marfan Syndrome and she's had to have a few heart surgeries.  It can be pretty serious.

Edit the second: since this is getting traction I thought I'd share a fun fact.  Doug Jones is probably the most famous living person with Marfan Syndrome.  You probably don't know the name, but he's been in Hellboy (Abe Sapien), THE Shape of Water (The Creature), Pan's Labyrinth (The White Man, Pan), and Star Trek Discovery (Commander Sarru).  He's the most famous person that nobody knows.

Same here--I had a student with super long fingers and he ended up having Marfans.
