Blue fingernails and toenails?!


Question: Blue fingernails and toenails?
my fingernails are slightly blue, and my toenails are like a dark pinkish blue. it just recently started happening. my hands and feet have always been real cold. but other than that, I do not feel any other symptoms. I'm breathing fine, I don't feel faint or weak, my mind is just as alert a normal and my heart beat is fine, blood pressure is also good. umm I'm basically in good health but this us freaking me out, soooo any ideas would help me. oh and a couple weeks ago I went to the cardiologist because I've been having supraventricular tachycardia, he did a full physical exam, echogram, ekg, stress test and a halter monitor. everything was good, he said it was panic attacks and just basic deconditioning. so yeah just let me know something please

Answers:

Suggest you tell your cardiologist about it so he can put your mind at rest. I suppose it might be a bit of bad circulation which could cause your extremeties to be cool and blue/white - but best to show it to your doctor (and he's the one who's dealing with you at the moment and knows all your ins and outs) in case it's a side effect of any medication you are taking. Better to tell a doctor and have your fears allayed. Worrying about it won't make it go away.



if your hands are always cold It sounds like you have circulation problems. try eating Ginger regularly as it is said to help relax the blood vessels and help blood flow better. ask your doctor about raynords I dont think that's spelt right though



That means your have circulation problems. Do you smoke, have diabetes or a family history of heart, lung or vascular problems?



Look up Raynaud's syndrome. There are other bits to it than blue fingers.
