Don't worry, see : Your doctor. Since you have physical therapy for some reason, tell your doctor your medical & family history & have a physical exam. If your doctor thinks it's possible, (s)he'll refer you to a cardiologist to know if you need any medications & to a geneticist. It's difficult & expensive to test for all types of marfan's & other connective tissue disorders because there are so many of them.

Probably not: Many people have long fingers, toes and arms but don't have marfan's syndrome. I trip to your primary care physician is in order to address your concerns and screen you for marfan's.

See cardiologis: Certain clinical features r required for the diag. Of Marfan syndrome. Being thin, tall with long fingers, toes and extremities is not enough for the diagnosis but may be an indication for referral to a pediatric cardiologist, pediatric ophthalmologist and geneticist for a much broader evaluation to rule out other abnormalities in the heart, eye and skeletal system and skin consistent w marfan.
