I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Clubbing is typically caused by lack of oxygen in the blood, so it can happen with many different heart or lung diseases. Lung cancer is the most common cause, but congenital heart problems or infections of the heart or lung can also give nails this clubbed appearance. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
