splinter hemorrhages , really stressed now

[iainm]

I have had a splinter haemorrhage on my big toe for about 2 months seen doc told me its psoriasis , so I decided to google typical results it could be heart related chose for once to ignore it but was always checking my toes woke up today and have another on opposite big toe which has appeared overnight had a blood test today to try and find anything but iam really scared now and panic is off the scale coupled with the other horrible symptoms im getting iam really pooping myself ( excuse the term) for the last week I have felt unwell in a different way to normal with extreme , iam told panic symptoms , but I just have stopped believing docs now as im sure something is up would be nice to hear if anyone has splinter hemorrhages with panic xxxx

I've got some and have only just found out the link. I've had them for a while on and off and am a little worried to say the least.

Hi mummy Ty for the reply have u had them on ur toes on fingernails , I have also read ur posts we same to get same symptoms just like others I'm just freaked that there on opposite big toes in exact same position xxx

Fingernails. They're very small as well, in fact barely noticeable. I've taken no notice at all of them till I read something the other day. Now I'm putting four and six together and making a catastrophe. I've no idea if they're ever normal.
What I used to do was pick them out! Like poke down under my nail and try and scratch them out as they're only usually above the fingertip bit.

Hey..I had these and still get them..got into a complete panic about them..had a stack of tests..all fine..specialist said just trauma..if you have had them checked and gp says it's fine...it's fine!
Hope you feel better soon

I'm really stressed about it they are identical place on opposite toes have not injured them my second one appeared overnight I have none on fingernails just so scares it's my heart cos of all the worse symptoms I've had since last weekend

[mummyanxious]

Why don't you go and have a chat with your dr about it and see what they say? I mean specifically that you are worried that its heart related/

I already have mummy they said injury or it's cause of skin conditions as I say not convinced xxxx

Ok I was brave enough to look this up. The photos are nothing like I've got, I have a few very small ones every now and again and they're nowhere near as severe as the images u saw.
A useful link if you want to read it is this one. Yes it mentions something to do with the heart but it does stress you would be very ill with it. There are many more plausible causes and I'm stopping worrying about mine now.

Please do not read it if you are just going to worry more though:
