w0o0o0o0o0o	It could be circulation issues she should see a cardiologist. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jessmarlor	She might have a condition called vasovagal syncope. I have had this disease for years (dont expect this answer to be true i am not a doctor) I often get heart palpitations but not tightness. When you have vasovagal you tend to faint a lot and my fingers have turned purple. Its just from the restricted blood flow or low blood pressure. If you want to know more about vasovagal syncope wikipedia.org has a really great section on this contition that has been really helpful in describing what happens. If you friend wants to she should go to the doctor to get a tilt test, Its not very fun but it does help to determine if this is vasovagal or not. If she does have vasovagal then all she has to do is take a medicine called Florinef, and or Midodrine. They are a bit time consuming as you have to take them throughout the day but they really help to keep the fainting under control, and no more heart palpitations!!1 p,s. vasovagal can make you cold another guess of mine is that she might have low blood pressure. that explains most of her symptoms as well as vasovagal Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TopPotts	She needs to see a doctor right away. Purple fingernails and a bluish tinge to her lips would indicate not getting enough oxygen into her system, but I'm no doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chase L	I don't know but I hope she has gone to the doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hotdiggidy	Thats not a question you should be posting online... She needs to go to the doctors and get checked... She could have one of many things including low blood pressure... She really needs to get checked... She should have gotten checked a long time ago... especially if this has been happening since she was a child! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Steven N.	did u try going to a hospital or doctor? she could seriously die. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cricket	i think she might have a heart condition. coloring of finger nails can sometimes tell whether the person is healthy or not. your friend seems like she needs a check up. bring her to a hospital, or tell someone authoritive that can help her. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Loyal B	That is WAY, WAY to big of a question to ask here. You need to tell her Mom or Dad, and/or take her to a Dr. to be checked out. Her life could possibly be in danger. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

perla0776	there has to be something wrong with her circulation/heart, tightness in chest means ur heart is having trouble pumping, same with the heart palpation; blacking out can be caused by not getting enough blood to the brain; being cold & having purple nails is caused by not getting enough blood to those areas I suggest going to a doctor/cardiologist if she hasn't done so yet, and get fully checked out good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

j_chan223	somthing is probably wrong with her bloodflow Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sweetp	HI,I think she NEEDS to see a Doctor ASAP..she sounds like she has Heart problems ,possibly with a lack of blood circulation,,thru the heart,,causing her maybe to have a blockage or something,somewhere in the Arteries ,I am Not a Doctor but this sounds serious! Have would have her go and see a good Heart Doctor and do a complete workup on her to see what is wrong,Before something bad happens.!! Good luck!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nebula	Sounds like she has some circulation problems, for a start. She needs to see a Dr. ASAP Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

miakista	Circulatory problems, aside from seeing a doctor regulalry and taking medication as perscribed doing things like YOGA is VERY good for circulation, walking, drinking lots of water and sleeping 8 hours. Dont exert yourself to much and stay happy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

adel17_is	She probably has bad circulation. Her hands and feet would probably be always cold because not enough blood is flowing through her body. Not enough blood gets to her heart, therefore she has heart palpitations and tightness in her chest. She needs to go see a doctor, and they can help her. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Amy B	She should see her family Dr. he will probably do a holter moniter on her, which reads your heart for 24 hours to see exactly what it is doing. Good luck to her, hope she feels better soon, but she should seek help soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

uckyD.	she should see a doctor. nothing good will come if she doesnt. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maggie	wow, thats sounds freaky!! well if she has abusive parents that could be a main reason, and if not you should ask her if shes gone in and had the doctors look at it. it could be serious, so talk to her about it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

retro_reuss	Ok, This isn't the type of question to put on Yahoo answers because not everybody here is a doctor. Plus, even if they were they probably won't be able to give a proper diagnosis. My advice is to take her to the docter, and fast. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

M-L-E	poor circulation for sure. that's what my dad is going through. You need to get her into a doctor NOW because it can result to heart failure. Be there for her. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shan	She should know by now! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥Shortstuff ♥	She needs to see her doctor as soon as possible. I have a hunch about her symptoms but I'm not a doctor, so she needs to be in touch with one. Tell her NOT to out it off. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tech	i dunno. but she better get checked. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mystique	I use to black out from time to time and was usually when overstressing myself or hadn't eaten. However the palpitations and tightness in chest sounds more familiar as I've gotten older and found out I have a medical disorder. Some things to consider or research would be a-blacking out can be from a blood pressure drop (dehydration, lack of oxygen, missing nutriets...) b-palpitations and chest tightness or pain - heart or lungs; see a cardio! c-cold and blue or purple fingernails goes along with lack of oxygen or blood flow. Without knowing other problems which you make it sound like there are I'd see a cardio and also do some research on connective tissue disorders. Do searches on as many symptoms/problems you know of, maybe even see a geneticist. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lisa49829	CIRCULATION SHE NEEDS TO TALK TO A DOCTOR!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
