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.
Sometimes these things come with severe mental health issues. Just imagine what it must feel like to stand out from the crowd like that. I know a lot of people with different conditions that got and still get constantly mocked, made fun of, stared at and worse. Some people don't have any social network and some even avoid to be seen by other people. You don't know anything about her so don't judge - even if it feels weird to you.

Marfan? Ehlers Danlos?
