okay... I have a question that I hope someone will be able to answer because I'm really worried.
So I went to the gym yesterday and I was on the elliptical for about 15 minutes and I noticed my finger nail beds were blue. No SOB no pain , weakness nothing. I got off and asked one of the instructors if I was seeing things of if they were really blue. And yes, they thought they were "definitely blue" So it kinda freaked my out because that has never happened before.
So today I'm at the gym and once again my nail beds turned blue. A nurse was working out beside me and said she thinks I need to have an EKG done. But she wasn't really sure what was wrong.
I have been feeling a little winded lately but nothing too serious. Really doesn't last for long and didn't think anything of it.
But now my chest kinda hurts when I take a deep breath and I have some drainage in my throat along with an occasional sneeze.
I'm just kinda freaked out about the nail thing.
I know I have bad circulation because my hands are always cold but the blue thing is new. I thought about going to the ED but I'm a poor college student and I just can't afford it. Can anyone calm my fears??
Thank you so much for reading.:redbeathe
