No: Were you sick recently? Did you take any medication? Was there any extraordinary event in your life in the recent past? Sometimes an event affects the growth of the nail and may present as a line. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
