Blue Fingernails

Your blue nails could be a big warning sign, something major is going on inside your body.

Or, your blue finger nails could be something simple such as; you are just reacting to the cold.

If you massage your fingernails and they return to their normal color, then it is a lack of blood supply due to the cold. This is especially true, for people who live in very, very cold climates.

When fingernails are very cold, the nail bed will try and insulate, (warm up) the fingernails by preventing heat loss, this causes lack of circulation in and around the nails which in turn, turns the fingernail blue.

If your fingernail or toenail discoloration remains blue it could be a sign of asthma or some kind of lung trouble. Trying to do your own analysis can be very difficult in this situation.

There is a condition called Raynaud's Disease this is where the arteries that supply blood to your skin become narrow, and curb your blood circulation, which can cause a blue haze to fingernails and toenails. Of course, this is something only a Doctor can confirm.

A single blue line in your fingernails, can sometimes be contributed to cancer, but again, this is something your doctor should have a loot at and diagnose.

If you feel unwell in any way, and hoping your fingernails will return to their original color, you may be waiting a very long time and allowing a health problem to go untreated.

Unless you enjoy wearing blue nail polish,there really is no excuse for you to have blue colored nails.

Some of the health signs you may experience because of blue finger nails are;

• difficulty breathing
  
• blue lips
  
• weight loss
  
• blue skin color
  
• abdominal swelling
  
• wheezing
  
• unable to take deep breaths
  
• sore throat
  
• low blood pressure
  

I have just outlined a very minor list of health problems which may be experienced, from blue nails.

These symptoms I obtained from other sources, as I am not a medical practitioner.

If you have been suffering from blue finger nails for a long period of time, get it checked out. It is not just your nails health at stake here.

Your blue fingernails are giving you a very big clue, something is wrong, and you really need to seek a medical opinion.
