I appear to have developed ridges on my fingernails, they run vertically.  Is there a medical reason for these ridges or fine vertical lines on my nails?

I read this is nothing to worry about, I have them too.  You can google Nail Problems & they will show you pictures of different nail problems.  Hope this helps.
