A little nervous/possible Marfans

[u/Fabulous-Class7857]

Prefacing this by saying I’m a hypermobile person with my dad having had an aortic aneurysm, later he in that year he passed due to a heart attack/descending thoracic aortic dissection.

I hadn’t really heard about Marfans until the other day when I went in for a potential subluxed shoulder and some pain. I’ve been suspecting hEDS (and POTS) due to other symptoms I have, but then the person asked if I’d ever heard of Marfans and she told me a little about it. I always attributed my dads heart problems to him being an older parent as well as drinking/smoking while I grew up (I’m 20) but now I’m nervous for if I do have it 😅

Of course I’m just hoping that I indeed have a marfanoid appearance and hEDS, but I of course want to look further into Marfans, because if I do have it I want to get diagnosed sooner than later.
Sorry this is kind of long, but I am now a little more educated on this new possible condition I may have, and am still looking into it!

I'm curious how this turns out we are in the initial stages of dx

You're just hypermobile and have a problem with your shoulder? Have you checked how many points you have in the systemic score (Ghent criteria)?
