Symptoms of heart or lung disease? Posted: 02-03-07 14:00pm


I'm wondering what these black lines are underneath my fingernails. They look like splinters and i've looked up some information on it and it is saying it could be lung or heart disease. Just wondering if it is or not because there's lung and heart disease that run in both sides of my family. Thank You.

According to the symptoms you describe (“having black lines underneath my fingernails that look like splinters”) it doesn’t seem likely that you are experiencing a sign of some heart or lung disease.
