Questions/Help/NASH related?

[RedBarn]

I had a tour of the ER a couple of weeks ago. I went in with a headache, and shortness of breath, and the tip of my fingernails turned deep blue/purple. After 6 hours and multiple tests including, complete blood work, CT scan, EKG, chest x-ray. The result stated that nothing was found. My primary doctor's follow-up has no clue about the nails or hair. He referred me to a dermatologist.

Currently, breathing is normal, headache has lessened, however, the nails are still blue. What is odd is the nails go back to normal and then blue again. I also have noticed hair loss.

Question: Is NASH related? Blue fingernail tips and hair loss?

Thanks for any response and direction.

Are you asking because you think you might have Nash or have you actually been diagnosed?

[RedBarn in reply to lusitania84]

Thanks for asking. I was diagnosed with Nash more than 10 years ago.

Doesn't sound like anthing that is liver related (I must emphasize, however, that I am NOT any kind of doctor or medical professional). Shortness of breath? Blue nails? I'd see a cardiologist probably (heart doctor).

Thanks! I thought the same thing but my primary is sending me to a dermatologist.

Fine, start there.

I saw this article and thought it might be beneficial to you. Or look up cyanosis.
