What can be causing my fingernails to turn a reddish purple color? When it happens I tend to have dizzy spells and blurred vision.

Blue fingernails are caused by a low level or lack of oxygen circulating in your red blood cells. This condition is known as cyanosis. It occurs when there isn't enough oxygen in your blood, making the skin or membrane below the skin turn a purplish-blue color. You need personal examination. Please consult your local physician for checkup and advice.
