Nope. Sorry, I've been to all types or specialists and never got any word. If you figure anything out let me know. =)
Did you ever find the cause of the purple nails? I have had purple nails for 2 months now
Yes, I am on no medications, yes that's me fishing, and I always throw them back because I'm not a big fan of eating fish.
Thanks so much.
I see from your profile you are 19 y/o so that's a good thing in your favor. It is very unlikely that you have heart disease of any kind. Even a heart murmur is most often not a problem.
I was a bit concerned by the purple nails, as I recall some warnings about that relative to one of my medications, I think it was the anticoagulant. But if you are not on any heart/blood medications, that can't be your source of trouble.
It may be enough to try to practice a real healthy heart life style and see if you have any more trouble. This includes getting 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep every 24 hour period, not eating or using stimulants: e.g., caffeine (coffee, tea, coke, chocolate... ), and eating a balanced diet - add to this exercise each day, even just walk fast for a couple of miles will help (at your age I'd say try to walk at a 15 minutes per mile pace, or faster).
If that's you in the picture with the spinning fishing rod, maybe you can just walk to the pond. Hope you catch a nice fish... and let it go so you can catch it again when it is even bigger.
They never found a diagnosis of the nails becuase it would never happen while i was in the doctors office...
When I was younger they believed me to have a heart murmur, but now when i got into the office they hear it sometimes and they dont. The only time my heart, blood pressure, etc. was measured was when I went to the emergency room but most of the symptoms had died down by then. I know my heart rate was above averate but that was several hours later so it wasn't a good enough reading to make any judgements on so they just sent me home.
You didn't say what the diagnosis of the purple nails is, I think that is a first question that needs answers. Are you on any medications like an anticoagulant?
The passing out is a troubling symptom too. You didn't mention any other important measures such as heart rate, blood pressure, heart rhythm - regular, irregular...
