A member asked:
I ve always had dark pink/ purple nails, both fingers and toes. does it indicate a heart problem?photos of it on my profile

This could be a -: -heart or respiratory problem. have you noticed that your lips are also bluish. if so, you would also be short of breath with exertion. if this fits your complaints, you need a cardiac and or pulmonary evaluation.
