Hello all,
I haven't posted for a few weeks, as my stomach symptoms have been getting better.
However the last few weeks I've noticed I've been getting out of breath occasionally after walking up big flights of stairs (I'm 25 years old), I walk very quickly everywhere, but only get out of breath if I'm rushing up a tube escalator or something.
I've had so many ECGs over the years, and nothing has come back as abnormal.
I get chest pain when I'm stressed, and at the moment, I've been coughing for the last couple of weeks with a bad cold, and that's caused my chest to hurt.
What I'm worried about now, is that I noticed a tiny little bump under my finger nail on my right thumb, and noticed the white moon crescent looks bigger, and that when I push down on all my finger nails, they go red, with a bit of white at the top.
I've never ever paid attention to my fingernails, and now everything online is saying, it can be caused by heart disease!
My nails don't look abnormal to me, because I've never really compared them to anyone, but now they look a bit red, and the nail bed goes red when I put pressure on them, I'm convinced, with everything else i've got heart disease that has been left un-detected.
I'm going to go to the Dr's on Monday, but I don't know if I'm over-reacting, or if this is normal.
Would appreciate any thoughts, as I'm in a bit of a panic at mo...which in turn is making my chest hurt more :(
Thank you
