Avatar n tn Please help me as I feel like there is something going on with my body and my doctor and the hospital and both told me that my nails are nothing to worry about and that everything according to my blood test, besides the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is fine. Also, I am 19 and over weight but my doctor has reassured me that there is nothing to worry about.
Avatar n tn hey. i've been having pvc's and my doctor put me on toprol XL 25 mg/day and they stopped for awhile and i weaned myself off the toprol. needless to say, the pvc's came back 3 weeks later. i also noticed lately that my fingernail beds are really pale but at the end behing the white part it is a dark pink. does anybody else notice this? i know that nails can give clues to health problems and i read that it can be related to heart problems.
Avatar f tn I had mild depression at the beginning of my pregnancy and my doctor actually recommended getting my nails done. She told me to treat myself and just have a relaxing day. So go ahead and get them done. Just like the others said, try a mask or vent out the fumes.
Avatar n tn I am 45 years old and a female. For over 7 years I have had an off and on dull pain on my left side. It mostly hurt when I moved. It felt like my ribs were hitting something and it hurt. It would last for a few weeks and disappear. It would flair up maybe once or twice a year. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. They did ulrasounds and bloodwork. Then last July the pain came back on both sides under my ribs. They did a CT and it was clear.
977832 tn?1248281938 I am an eighteen year old female, and have been wondering for some time whether or not I am at slight risk for a heart condition. My fingernails are mounded/crested, especially my thumbnails, and I've been told this is often a symptom for heart disease (however, I also chewed my nails quite a bit as a child, so this might have added to it). I am also frequently cold, particularly in my extremities (hands and feet), and wonder if I have poor circulation.
Avatar f tn ve struggled life long with fragile hair, teeth and nails, very painful menstrual cycles, heart murmur (and fluttering has increased lately..), joint pain/damage, and stomach pains...
Avatar f tn Can you habe acirlic nails on during a c-section. Im due in like 37 days and don't want to get them done before she comes and habe to take them off.
Avatar f tn d say yeah, go to walmart and get her acrylic nails to play with, and blue and pink nail polish, and pretty pink lipstick and mascara. It does matter what the other girls are doing in this instance. This isn't like having sex or driving. It's just fads and fashions.
Avatar f tn Sometimes my nails do that if I keep the nail polish on too long, like a couple weeks or so. It does that because if you always have nail polish on then your nails can't get air and that makes them turn that color...
Avatar f tn It is good you have been checked by a doctor. I do not know what hypothyroidism is, but is sure sounds like something to do with the thyroid.. yet: "they say my thyroid was good." I assume "they" are/is a doctor. Watch out for weight gain if you eat much chocolate, it sure sticks to my bones, I have to avoid it, then I have a problem with a too high HR anyway. Shortness of breath could be related to a lack of blood oxygen due to the low HR...
Avatar f tn I was the only guest that time and I noticed that about 5 minutes before I showed up, there were no guests there. Also, she trimmed my toe nails before trimming my finger nails. I was scared and until now i cannot remember whether there was any blood on the nail clipper (I mean someone else's blood) My menstrual periods (4 months in a row) have been lighter than before, which really worries me.
Avatar n tn I have found out about psoriatic nails, found in people with psoriasis, and ridges and peeling in your finger or toenails has to do with iron. High iron manifests in skin problems, and psoriasis is common in iron disorders. Google it with typing in peeling toenails or fingernails. Here is a link.
691935 tn?1421027090 I have several nails that curve downwards at the ends.
Avatar n tn I have a problem with thick big toes and constant ingrown nails. Is there anything I can do to remedy this problem...it is very painful and so thick that clippers won;t work. What medications are available for thickness and ingrown toe nails?
Avatar f tn t know if its to do with the heart, because everywhere i read blue nails mean either heart or lung problems?! hope not.. but is it blue like we have them, or all blue? i don't smoke either, have trouble breathing sometimes, and also have mild acid reflux. hmm.. anyway, hope we figure this out asap:) if i find out anything, i'll let you know, please do the same. thanks!
Avatar f tn This is my second and both babies I git my nails done with no problem.
Avatar n tn I'm just wondering, can poor circulation (Raynaud's, frequent mottling of body) be a sign of an autoimmune disorder? There is a family history: my mother has Sjrogen's, Lupus and Raynaud's. I have Raynaud's. I'm wondering about my daughter. She has real problems with her circulation (heart problems ruled out), frequent rashes, slow growing nails, hair that pulls out easy.
Avatar f tn Thanks for all the info. I never really thought about my thyroid because they kept saying my tsh was normal. I am just worried because I am so young and I really don't feel good. Everything I look up about purple nails is bad... Lung or heart. I am not even sure I have acid reflux since the nexium is not working.
1318351 tn?1313381421 For over a month now I have been having some really strange symptoms, started with some petechia and then things just got crazy, skin problems (rashes I think) and bumps like pimples on my arms (no puss) and on my chest (some have puss and some dont). Started getting brown spots that look kinds like flat moles, they are small and brown all over my body, many over night (new ones). Headaches on the left side of my head and newly pressure in my for head now the headache is pretty much all over.
7642836 tn?1410611040 Well I never had a c section but I did had a serjury once and they took my nail polish off because they said they need to see any changes if any through there for example if they turned blue theres something wrong they will notice right away. But I will check with your doc.
Avatar f tn I get gel nails and a pedi faithfully every two weeks and my baby is just fine!
Avatar m tn hello, i am a 23years old, male, 177cm and 66kg, father died of heart attack at 45. for the last 3 months i have been having problems concentrating, feeling dizzy, feeling faint, high heart rate while at rest (90-100bpm), and sometimes jumping to 110bpm, sometimes i can feel it beat hard, some palpitations, sometimes i can feel like a ache in my chest(left side), it happenes while at rest or after a really really really long walk. during workout i feel ok (no pain, no shortness of breath).
Avatar f tn They show no concern for my nails at all. They say my oxygen is normal and talk about reflux and anxiety. That is why I need help....very frustrated!
2178116 tn?1337609281 I went to a doctor about a month later and the TSH was 5.1, FT3 - 2.4, and FT4 - 1.0. My doctor said it is only borderline and we will check again in 6 months. Is it normal for TSH to go up like that in one month? Should I be trying some natural remedies? I have read deficiency in iodine can cause the problem. Should I take iodine? If so, how much? I am 60 years old.
Avatar m tn Stage 1 kidney disease can often show GFR in normal range. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine will not be raised above the normal range until 60% of total kidney function is lost. I had major kidney problems which showed up after supplementing with 100mg of elemental magnesium daily for a few months (for severe magnesium deficiency). My symptoms were numerous! and listed under kidney failure, acidosis, and hypermagnesemia.
