Resolved question:
Have been feeling weak and dizzy for past few weeks off and on. Saw primary care doc, did EGK, showed nothing. Noticed today that BP on left arm is 99/69 and right is 124/78. I also have many symptoms of Marfan Syndrome (pectus, teeth, armspan, hernias, etc.) and am worried this indicates some circulatory or heart issue. My question is what do I do and where do I go to diagnose this properly?

Hello
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern
Since you have Marfan syndrome you are prone to dilatation of the aorta and aortic valve abnormalities. You should get a 2 D echo done to rule out these. Do you have palpitations, blackouts, chest pain?

Palpitations yes but not pain or blackouts.
Hello
You could either get an ecg when you are having palpitations. If they are for a very short while get a holter 24 hours examination done to ascertain the nature of palpitations and their relation to dizziness if amy should be noted. Also as I already said a 2d echo would be necessary.
