Avatar n tn Hi, please tell me what can have caused my fingernails to get purple/bluish after one day of running much more than I was used, on July 14th. Since then, my fingernails stayed purple/bluish. I have gone through EKG, echo, xray, CT scan, blood work and spirometry test, all came back normal. What other tests can I take?
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.
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 Hi, if a person has purple fingernails all the time, can that person have a thyroid disorder?
Avatar n tn Hi, occasionally my finger tips go a very dark purple along with my fingernails, with the middle finger going white as skin looks just after it has been under pressure. The fingers do not feel cold, but feel slightly numb, but when I put them to my face I feel that they are freezing cold. I've heard that this is bad circulation, but I'd like to know if I should be worried at all or if there's anything I can do. http://img377.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hand1mp5.jpg http://img294.
Avatar n tn Purple fingernails all the time mean Raynaud's? Mine turned purple a month ago, just after overexercising and since then they remained purple, is this normal? Also, the coloration doesn't seem to change with temperature, does it still mean it is Raynaud's?

Avatar f tn The past few weeks my feet have been turning purple and bright red as soon as I stand on them. I swell very badly and I'm concerned. I called the doctors and another doctor was on call and he simply said "it could be preaclampsia or a lot of other things but to just stay off my feet for a while. I've been trying to hold out for my doctors appointment which is next week. Anyone else had this happen ?

Avatar n tn Hi, so since a day of overexercising, it looks like my blood turned light purple :$ Maybe it sounds like an stupid conclusion, but I can notice that in every place where I should get a reddish color, I'm getting a light purple one instead. For example a rash, my fingernails, my face after crying, a scar, a scratch, whatever, now get light purple instead of red. I got EKG, echo and other tests, all came back normal. What are the causes of this colouration?
Avatar n tn Hi, what are the reasons for a purplish discoloration in lips, fingernails, toenails, ears, tongue, face after crying and every other place where it was reddish before?
Avatar m tn Another stripper was in bikini bottom--I placed my finger on the bikini material (which was wet with her fluids) with right index finger and middle finger and pressed (over clothing material), into the vagina for approximately two seconds. I had clipped my fingernails that day very short where the pink pigmentation was somewhat showing- the finger was sore the next day from clipping so short. There was no blood or cracks (on finger) that I am aware of.
Avatar m tn The color in my fingernails seems to be slightly darker than normal and maybe a little purple tinged. When I extend my fingers, the color leaves the front half of them. I have no idea what this is and my doctor didn't seem to know either. It is possible that I have lyme disease as well so I was wondering if it could be related. Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar n tn 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. I saw a gp, a cardiologist and and a pulmonologist and had some blood tests, ECG, echo, spirometry, and x-ray, the only result I got is a mild upper cervical disorder, the rest all ok.

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 f tn Hi, so lately I've noticing my feet turning purple an swelling either at night or after im on them all day. My hands just get red. Is this normal?
