Nail Changes May Signal Underlying Health Issues, Doctors Explain

Nail Changes May Signal Underlying Health Issues, Doctors ExplainPreviousNext

Fingernails can provide insights into internal health, particularly lung function, according to Dr. Shraddhey Katiyar. Subtle changes in nail shape, such as increased rounding and curvature (clubbing), may indicate prolonged low oxygen levels. This condition is often linked to chronic lung or heart issues, as the body attempts to compensate for poor oxygen supply by increasing blood flow to fingertips, gradually altering nail structure over time.
