A few days ago, I noticed something strange—my fingernails on both hands have turned this bluish tint from the base down to about halfway. It’s actually hard to pin down the exact shade; sometimes it looks gray, other times more purple... At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but anyone else looking at them can see it too. The weirdest part is how quickly it happened, practically overnight, and I can't find any obvious reason for it. I know discoloration like this can be a red flag for heart or lung issues, which is why I'm getting anxious, even though I just had a full checkup with my cardiologist and everything came back perfectly fine... It might be worth mentioning that this blue crescent shape is most noticeable on my pinky and ring fingers, while my thumbs look completely normal. I'm starting to get a little scared, so I was wondering if anyone here has dealt with something similar, or if there's anything else this could point to besides some kind of lung infection?
I'm not sure if it could be linked to anemia since I've struggled with that in the past, but my latest blood work from about a month ago showed nothing out of the ordinary.
I am currently taking Vitamin D and an anti-anxiety med, though I really doubt it has anything to do with my prescriptions...
