Because I was very flexible and had long hands and feet, I had some early symptoms of Marfan syndrome, a disease that affects connective tissues and can be fatal if there is leakage to the vessels that lead to the heart." "If you reach out your arms and form a T and your wingspan is longer than your height, you can be at risk. In my case, those measurements have always been very close.” Phelps went on to state that his mother and coach suggested it as a routine check for young athletes as they didn’t want to scare him. He added:
“I didn't know at the time why the doctor decided to look into this.
