687079 tn?1230948612 hi today my hands are cold and my fingernails have just the slightest tint of blue to them i am also weak (my thyroid is getting pretty low t4 ) but i get this weakness a lot i checked my bp and it was fine 120/74 heart rate is steady no pain or anything, my lips are not blue - i called the endo and she said low thyroid would not do this so not to worry, i was wondering if anyone else had this? i know we have a lot of symptoms that the docs do not recognize so.....
Avatar m tn The possibilities are quite extensive for lips turning blue, and you can do a differential dx by eliminating that what you know cannot be a condition for you. Hope this helps, and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond.

Avatar n tn misshaped fingernails turning yellow kind of warbly and flat in spots and are not growing and splitting
Avatar n tn ve noticed the ends of all my fingertips slowly turning red.... only on the top side of my hands, the side with the fingernails.... My fingernails are healthy and growing/normal, but the skin surrounding the nail is very red.... I also can add that my hands are ALWA:YS cold, and I have had a tingly feeling in my fingertips a few times, only in a few fingers, it went away after a minute or two.....
Avatar n tn Fingernails turn blue/purple because of a lack of oxygen. This can be cardiogenic or caused by anemia or certain circulatory diseases (Raynaud's).
Avatar n tn One and a half month ago, I overexercised (went running a lot more than I was used to) and when I finished, my fingernails were purple/blue. Since then, they have remained purple. A week after that I started developing many other symptoms which I'm quite sure have to do something with that. I went through several tests including EKG, echocardiogram, xray, spirometry, CT scan and blood work. All came back normal. My fingernails had never changed their colour before that incident.
Avatar n tn Yes. Your oxygen levels are declining. That is the reason for the blue fingernails. You can't see your lips, but they are probably blue too. The most likely etiology is anemia, secondary to a low hematocrit. There ain't enough little red blood cells around to carry the oxygen. Smoking, with the binding of the carbon monoxide, would make this mjuch worse. Another possibility is a cardiac etiology or vascular insufficiency. Not that likely for a runner.
Avatar n tn If the fingernails remain blue even after rubbing, then there may be an underlying disease. It can be a part of Raynaud’s phenomenon. Please consult a doctor and get this examined. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn Half and hour after the exercise I noticed that my fingernails were blue and probably my lips were a little blue too. It lasted for some hours, but my fingernails never returned to their original colour. They are somewhat purple now. Only my thumb in my right hand gets very blue sometimes. This had never happened to me before that day. I never had any kind of respiratory problems.
Avatar f tn this was several weeks ago and we have not heard anything yet. In the mean time my daughter now is experiencing a increase in turning blue in the knee and ankle area,along with a bluish tint around her mouth and going up her arm from her hands. This all comes and goes. Has anybody ever experienced this at all . I am very concerned but the Dr's don't seem to be. Any info would be really appreciated, or know any Dr who could help.
Avatar f tn Im concerned about why my fingernails are growing upwards turning a yellow color
Avatar m tn My 7 year old daughter finger nails and toe nails are turning black and are seperating from the skin. I took her to a determologist and he really could not come up with a diaginosis or reason why this is happening. He ran some test of the nail and it came back negative for fungus. It appear to be spreading to other finger nials (so far 3 finger nails). He prescribed some cream to reduce the thickness and it appears to be working, although, keeps speading.

Avatar n tn Why are my fingernails turning purple around my nearly severed finger I never seen a doctor about it
Avatar f tn I'm a 50 year old woman and my fingernails have begun to curl as they get longer?
Avatar n tn I really run much more than what I was used. When I finished, my fingernails were purple. Since then, they have stayed that way. A week after that, I started having many other symptoms (headaches, wooziness, etc). I was told by my doctors that it was raynauds, but now I have found out that raynaud causes attacks and then fingernails come back to normal. Mine are purple all the time, but occasionally my right thumb and left index turn very blue, although they return to purple when I press them.
347645 tn?1283220742 The natural history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is that it gets progressively worse and the worsening is accelerated by cigarette smoke. Your symptoms could be an indication that your COPD is worsening or that you are having an exacerbation, a temporary, acute worsening of symptoms, often reversible with medical treatment. The blue fingernails suggestion that your body is not getting enough oxygen and that could make it much harder to breathe.
Avatar f tn I'm a 34 yr. old female. In January, overnight, my lips turned white. I had a blood test and was told - no anemia; blood cells look good. Then a week later I noticed that my lips looked blue. Went to the dr. & was told oxygen 100% and had a test for methemoglobin which came back normal. I later went to a cardiologist who tested me for a hole in my heart with an ECHO w/ bubble contrast. The test was normal.
