Do I have a circulation problem or is this normal?

Question

Hello, I recently had a flu and my nails turned purple. I also have regular nausea/dizziness when I take a very hot shower or when I stand still for a long time (more than an hour). When I walk, my fingertips are often swollen and numb.

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question, but the situation you describe unfortunately requires the attention of a physician. In fact, only doctors can provide a diagnosis and I think we need a clear diagnosis before we attempt a treatment option. Otherwise, we risk causing negative effects without the benefits of treatment, as well as delaying the management of your current situation. I am sorry I cannot help you at this time, the situation you describe is beyond what can be addressed on this platform. Have a nice day, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
