I have been having bad anxiety and panic attacks for 3 months , I have had chest X-ray about 10 ecgs echocardiogram stress test blood tests and they said it was anxiety .. The thing I want help with is my nail beds have all changed colour to a purplish tint half way up almost look bruised .. I have had my oxygen levels checked and there like 100 % ive seen multiple doctors who don't know but say it isn't anything to worry about ive also been to Chinese medicine please ️hope someone can help it's driving me mad and making anxiety worse !!
First of all, what are you anxious about ? A heart attack? Anxiety can definitely mimic symptoms of a heart attack. You've been checked and had 10 ecgs. And ecg would be able to pick up a heart attack because the strip would have an ST elevation ( i think ) but if you're ecg shows your heart is ok.. And your oxygen levels are 100%? I think you're gonna be ok. Do you have a family history of heart attacks? If you do, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!
If you're that concerned i think you should see a cardiologist so that it could alleviate your anxiety.
Hi thanks for commenting back yes I was scared about that but my hearts fine I just don't know why my nails are that colour any ideas ? No no history ive already seen a cardiologist aswel who ran those tests
Hi tess ️thanks for replying yeah im scared it was my heart but ive had loads of tests and now I'm thinking maybe lungs I just don't get why they are this colour it's so annoying as there not going away
I fear the same thing.. Multiple tests on my heart and yet I still panic (i actually just wrote a discussion like this earlier) daily that I'll have a heart attack.. Are you sure they're actually purple? On days I feel anxious, I'm positive that they're purple and I'm dying. But everyone else says they're not purple.. Your mind can trick you into believing it. They also turn purple when you're cold. You are fine. Don't make problems that aren't really there! If your oxygen wasn't good, they would not let you leave. They would put you into an ambulance and send you to the nearest hospital. Try to take comfort in that it's probably just your anxiety playing with you. (bit I wish I could take my own advice!!!
Hi thanks for replying really are you the same how horrible is it ? I actually don't know what happend to me why I'm like this I was never as anxious as this !! Yeah they honestly are it basically looks like they are all bruised half way up but they aren't sore or that they do get worse when I'm cold but the colour never goes away I know I needed some advice as I constantly keep thinking it's bad
I get it too, actually, now and again, and I wonder why.
But I have always had very cold hands and feet so I am sure that is why it happens to me now and again. I just ignore it. It goes away by itself, and I've had some heart tests too, and they were fine, and I'm a nurse, so I just think the purple nail bed thing is due to poor circulation. Well, mine is, anyway.
You've had an awful lot of tests. Time to start believing the results, I think?
Really do urs go like that aswell ? I know I feel bad but it's cause they can be so purple it worries me .. My anxiety is so bad recently honestly ive recently started yoga and going walks to help me
Its not.. If you hadn't been checked by a doctor and they were really bad, it would be concerning. Doctors do not mess around when it comes to hearts and oxygen levels.. That much I know, so they wouldn't have let you leave if they needed to investigate it more. Some people just have strange colors nails. Go get a manicure and be done with it haha.
And yes u have it horrible too. Mine started after my son. I'm on buspar now. Some days I feel perfect, other days I'm awful. Always worse certain days of the month. They said I have sinus tach (which they also said literally everyone has) and that sent me completely over the edge a few weeks back. Every time I feel my HR I'm convinced it's going too fast. Ridiculous what we think on a daily basis haha
Lol! My fiance always says "wow, you give all these people such good advice, yet they don't know how you eat a box of cookies and cry about death every night" haha. Oops!
Great!! You're nail beds have nothing to do with your heart!😂 I dont know where you got that from. I read somewhere once that it could be a sign of a heart attack but thats really just plain bs. Dont read that stuff. DO NOT go on web md.... Do not go on mayo clinic to check your symptoms... Tell your doctor and let your doctor due the job. Anyway, you heart results came back excellent.. So just sit back relax and enjoy life! Its too short to be worried about things like this.
No, were moving in late October now so everything has taken a back seat.. Wedding date is set for May though so I need to get on it.. Were not doing huge ceremony or anything, just close family and then our reception will be where all other extended family and friends come. We got into an argument the other day over what food to serve so... I'm just planning it all on my own now because he doesn't understand how it all works lol
Really so nails don't mean heart then ? I know honestly online has made me worse !! ️Ano I just need to calm down I feel like my hearts going to fast and chest pain it's horrible
Sure they do. And because I'm a nurse, I worried about it for a while. Then I had a bunch of tests done and nothing was wrong with me. Exxcept poor circulation, especially to my feet. I have a hot water bottle in summer to warm them up!
So I just ignore the nail thing now. The tests reassured me. I'm not about to drop dead of a heart attack. Well, not right now! I'm 60 and I am sure I have plenty years left in me to go.
If you don't see me on this site for a while, you'll know I was wrong lol! But I've had the nail thing for over ten years, Lisatia. Just ignore it, ok?
