Random question - I'm scared that I have Marfans

So I'm f,19 and I suddenly developed POTS out of nowhere in 2022. I'm very tall (174 cm), thin, have long legs and long fingers and bad eyes (astigmatism).

Two doctors have already told me that I probably DON'T have Marfans just based on looking at me but I'm not sure. They could be wrong, couldn't they?

And since I have bad bad health OCD and my biggest current worry is an aortic aneurysm and I've heard that people with Marfans often have that, I'm even more scared. I'm extremely scared of dying anyways, especially because I'm still so young. And I also read that if an aortic aneurysm ruptures, 8 out of 10 people die before they even reach the hospital... so idk... I'm IN PANIC

Sorry for bothering...
