A member asked:
I have anemia and my nail beds are purple a third of the way up. is this because i'm anemic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia: Weakness, tiredness, sometimes shortness of breath, pale skin, pale membranes in the mouth, and nail bed duskiness - these are common changes with anemia, and become worse as the severity of the anemia gets worse. Make a plan with your physician on how you are going to correct the anemia.
