Blue nails/tingling
by Susan__0__0, Aug 12, 1998 12:00AM
Even when it's 80 degrees outside, my finger nails are blue. Sometimes on the palm side, they are whitish/blue in color. At night time, I awake several times due to my arms and hands tingling (pins & needles type feeling). Lately, when I'm bending over and get up quickly, I feel light headed. I often feel out of breath as well. Especially at night time. Lying in bed and I feel myself taking deep breathes to feel better. I also feel very tired lately. I do not smoke. I am 37 years old w/ 3 children to care for.

Dear Susan,
This forum is NOT for diagnosing nor for treatment of any condition, rather it is
an informational forum only. Therefore in regards to what you have said I simply
suggest you seek medical treatment in the near future. In general most patients
go to a general physician (internist or family physician) first and are then referred
as needed. Good Luck.
